Spicy Orange Panko Crusted Fish Recipe

March 2, 2021

This Spicy Orange Panko Crusted Fish Recipe is an easy and delicious dinner dish that is better than a takeout meal. The entire dish takes less than 30 minutes to prepare. Scroll down for the recipe!

I love using Boston bibb lettuce to wrap these beautiful crunchy fish glazed with a spicy orange sauce.  Gorton’s Crunchy Breaded Fish is ideal for this recipe since it is covered in a golden crispy panko breading.  Cooking with Gorton’s makes adding seafood to your diet a little easier and more delicious!  Simply cook the fish as directed on the package.

Not only are these wild caught Alaska Pollock a good source of protein and natural omega-3’s, but they are free of fillers and preservatives.  With a fresh taste and a quick cook time, Gorton’s Crunchy Breaded whole fillets are an easy way to incorporate more seafood into your diet.  Plus, they are full of flavor and nutrition.  As a freezer staple, Gorton’s Crunchy Breaded whole fillets are preserved for freshness whenever you need them and are easily customizable to your cooking needs. The Crunchy Breaded whole fillets can be used to make a quick snack, appetizers or an entire meal for your friends and family.

Spicy Tip: While the spicy orange sauce in this recipe requires Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce, the spicy heat can be modified to your tasted buds. Simply add one teaspoon of Sriracha at a time versus adding the required one tablespoon. If two teaspoons provides the sufficient spice that you like, then do not add any more Sriracha. If you love to bring on the spicy heat in your cooking, add an additional teaspoon or more of Sriracha until your have achieved the desired heat for this dish.

Prep Time 30 mins
Cook Time 16 mins
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 19 oz pkg Gorton's Crunchy Breaded Fish
  • 1 cup SMUCKER'S Sweet Orange Marmalade
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce
  • 2 Boston Bibb Lettuce cleaned
  • ¼ cup Green onions sliced
  • ¼ cup Red Fresno Peppers sliced

Instructions
 

  • Cook one 19 oz package of Gorton's Crunchy Breaded Fish as directed on the package.
  • In a one quart sauce pan, add one cup of Sweet Orange Marmalade and place on medium heat for 5 minutes. For purposes of this recipe, I used SMUCKER'S, however, you can use your favorite Sweet Orange Marmalade for this sauce.
  • After the marmalade's consistency has reduced to a sauce, and one tablespoon of Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce to the marmalade. Stir thoroughly with a small fork or whisk. Cook for an additional 5 minutes and remove from the heat.
  • Once the the 16 oz package of Gorton's Crunchy Breaded Fish is completely cooked, glaze each fish using a spoon or silicone basting brush.
  • If you have not already done so, gently remove the leaves from the Boston bibb lettuce and clean them thoroughly. Take two of the lettuce leaves and top them with one Spicy Orange glazed fish fillet. Garnish with 3-4 sliced green onions slices and a couple of red Fresno peppers slices. Repeat the steps with the remaining ingredients. I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

I am a huge fan of lychee martini’s. @red_thest I am a huge fan of lychee martini’s.  @red_thesteakhouse in Miami makes a great one.  It pairs beautifully with their signature Four Cheese 🧀 Macaroni & Cheese.  Our waiter suggested that we add lobster 🦞 and it’s was maginifique!
I may be biased - because I am a Texan, but @visit I may be biased - because I am a Texan, but @visitsouthpadreisland restaurants make the best fried red snapper.  Here’s an excellent one from @dirtyalspelicanstation .
I can’t decide what I like more, Cocktails 🍸 I can’t decide what I like more, Cocktails 🍸 or Cake 🍰? After years of driving by Maximillians Grill & Wine Bar on Chapel Hill Rd. in Cary, I finally went with my friend @ejdevita for a Taurus Celebration Dinner.  Everything was fantastic.  If you are a Martini-lover, try the Max Martini with blue cheese stuffed olives 🫒. My fellow Taurus introduced me to Martinis on the Rocks and I don’t plan to have a Martini shaken or stirred anymore.  Maximillians makes all of their gelatos and desserts in house.  If the Coconut Cake is on the menu - order it!  It’s been one month since I had a slice of this dessert and I am still dreaming about it.  The Pei Mussels are another must.  Focaccia accompanies the mussels to soak up the delicious seafood broth.  Other notable mentions are the Voodoo Of The Day and the Double Cut Pork Chop.  @maximilliansgrillandwine menu is farm to table so dishes may change.  If it’s not too hot out, grab a table on their patio.  I do recommend you make a reservation - to guarantee your spot.  Maximillians is located on 8314 Chapel Hill Rd. Cary, NC 27513.

Pure Vegan Cafe is a juice and vegan food restaura Pure Vegan Cafe is a juice and vegan food restaurant focused on using high quality, healthy ingredients to create premium juices, smoothies, and 100% vegan food. I visited their
8369 Creedmoor Rd. location in Raleigh after work last week and sampled their delicious plant-based menu items.  While I am not Vegan, I do follow a diet rich in vegetables and fruits.  Some of the food I sampled included the Banana Toast Crunch, PVC Tiki Burger, Chipotle Bowl and Novid Orange juice.  I could not stop eating the PVC Tiki Burger.  It is made of potatoes, peas, carrots and spices topped with lettuce, tomato, avocado, microgreens, chipotle mayo & honee mustard.  In addition to the flavors, I like that I could see the veggies in this burger.  It wasn’t a patty of mashed or compressed vegetables.  I also enjoyed the Chipotle Bowl Salad made of romaine, black beans, avocado, quinoa, pico cashew dressing and cilantro dressing.  Do not leave @purevegancafe with out trying an order of Sweet Potato Buffalo Ranch Fries!  Make sure you bring a friend or two to sample these fries because you may end up eating the whole basket like I did 😂. Special thanks to Pure Vegan Cafe for hosting me and @bitesofbullcity for coordinating my visit.
