Ingredients

2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil
4 (6-ounce) portions Pacific Cod
Pinch of salt
Cracked black pepper or red pepper to taste
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, finely sliced
1 cup grape tomatoes (substitute with heirloom or cherry tomatoes if you prefer) quartered
¼ cup white wine
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
⅓ cup pitted kalamata olives
2 tablespoons parsley or basil to garnish, chopped

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Season fish with salt and pepper. Fry the fish until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip or turn pieces, then adjust stove temp to medium-low.

2. Add in onion and garlic and fry until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

3. Add in the tomatoes (burst them with your fingertips while adding them into the pan for added flavor), wine, lemon juice, and olives, and continue cooking until the fish has cooked through and the sauce has reduced a little. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

4. Spoon the sauce over the fish and serve immediately with herbs sprinkled on top. To complement the herbal, Mediterranean flavors, serve with a side of couscous or quinoa, and chickpeas.
