Ingredients

1/3 cup of fresh orange juice

2 small to medium leeks, cleaned and cut in quarters and 3 inch long lengths, like a wide noodle, blanched 1 minute in boiling water

4 fillets of firm white fish about six ounces each-orange roughy is a good choice-snapper or grouper would be a good substitute

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1 tablespoon of dried tarragon

1 tablespoon of black pepper

1/2 teaspoon of sea salt

grated rind off two oranges-navels are good

2 tbsp of butter

1/4 cup of fresh orange juice

Directions

Preheat oven to low 325 degrees.

Bring some water ot a rolling boil and blanch the cleaned and prepped leeks for about a minute, Drain well

In a 13 x 9 x 2 casserole dish, pour in the orange juice.

Scatter leeks evenly.

Brush both sides of the fish fillets with oil, fairly generously

a) to keep the bottom from sticking

b) to keep the topping in place

Put on top of juice and leeks.

Mix the herbs, salt and pepper with the orange rind

Put on top of each fish fillet and press in place to form a thin crust.

Bake about 20 to 25 minutes.

Transfer to a serving platter, tent with foil to keep warm.

Strain juices from pan into small skillet, heat and add a knob of butter and a splash of orange juice, heat and serve poured around the fish, don't risk knocking off your pretty crust.

Use a sprig of fresh tarragon for garnish.

I just made this. I love it! Of course, I'm partial to citrus.... The orange and the tarragon are fantastic together. I'm adding this recipe to my "keeper" list. Thanks!

Oh, I must say that I used onion rather than leeks with this Baked Fish recipe. The onion is rather mild, but that's what I had on hand...
