This is adapted from my local newspaper. Any mild white fish will work here. This dish is easy to prepare. Kalamata olives are the black Greek olives, but you can substitute nearly any olive you prefer.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup red onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
2 lbs plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup kalamata olive, pitted and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1/2 cup parsley, chopped and divided
1 1/2 lbs cod fish fillets
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Heat oil in a Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and onion and saute, stirring until the onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add oregano and thyme, stir. Add tomatoes, olive, capers and about half the parsley. Simmer until tomatoes cook down to a chunky sauce.
Sprinkle fish with salt on both sides. Push some of the sauce to one side of the pan and spread the rest thinly over the bottom of the pan. Place the fish on top of the sauce in the bottom of the pan and cover with the sauce that you previously pushed aside. Cover the pan and simmer over medium heat until the fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle the remaining parsley over the fish and serve.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Ingredients

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
10 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large pinch red pepper flakes
2 cups crushed canned tomatoes, preferably Italian
1 cup pitted kalamata olives
2 tablespoons drained capers
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 shallots, thinly sliced
4 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
5 cups olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 sprig fresh basil
Five 6-ounce fillets lingcod, about 2 inches thick
Kosher salt
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup picked fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt

Steps:

For the sauce: Add 1/4 cup olive oil and the garlic to a large Dutch oven over medium heat and cook until the garlic is aromatic, about 2 minutes. (Make sure not to overcook the garlic, as there should be no color.) Add the red pepper flakes, then the crushed tomatoes and the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and bring to a simmer. Add the olives and capers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the water reduces from the top, about 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the rosemary sprigs and allow to steep.
For the caramelized shallots: Meanwhile, heat the butter and oil in a 12-inch saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the shallots, sugar and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
For the cod: Heat the oil, garlic and basil in a 14-inch saute pan to 120 degrees F and cook until the garlic is golden brown and the basil has started to wilt. Discard the garlic and basil (they have done their job and seasoned the oil).
Season both sides of the cod with salt. Gently place the cod fillets in the pan, making sure they are submerged, and poach until the fillets turn cloudy white and are firm to the touch with a slight bounce, about 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spatula and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
For serving: Lightly toast the pine nuts in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Toss together with the basil, parsley, oil and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
Spoon the sauce onto a large platter and nestle the fish on top. Top each filet with a spoonful of caramelized shallots, then sprinkle the pine nut mixture over the fish.

Tips:

For a crispier cod, pat it dry with paper towels before cooking.
Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the sauce. This will give it a richer flavor.
If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes. Just be sure to drain them well before adding them to the sauce.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little bit of heat.
Serve the cod with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This cod with tomato olive sauce recipe is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The cod is flaky and tender, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to please the whole family.
