Tortilla-Crusted Cod Cakes

This is a recipe I have found that I plan to try in the future. It has all the ingredients I like so it sould be good. It looks like it could use a salsa or other sauce to go with it.

1 medium red onion
1 bunch fresh cilantro
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds cod fillet
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup finely crushed tortilla chips (from 3 cups chips)
2 oranges, peeled and thinly sliced into circles

Heat oven to 350F. finely chop enough to measure 3/4 cup and enough cilantro stems to measure 1 tablespoon (reserving the leaves). Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, cilantro stems, and jalapeno and cook until softened, 4 minutes. Pulse the cod, egg salt, pepper and the onion mixture in a food processor until combined but not pureed. Form 8 cod cakes. Coat each cake with the chips. Wipe out skillet. Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil over medium heat. Add 4 cakes and cook until golden brown, 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a baking sheet. Wipe out skillet and repeat with 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil and the last 4 cakes. Bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Thinly slice the remaining onion. Toss with the oranges, 1/2 cup of the cilantro leaves, and the remaining oil. Serve with the cakes.
