- In a large heavy-bottomed pan, melt 4 Tbsp butter and add finely diced onion. Cook over medium heat about 5 min or until onions are soft. Add 1 minced garlic clove, 6 oz tomato paste and continue cooking 5 min, stirring frequently, until tomato sauce starts to brown. Add 2 cups veggie stock and seasonings contained in a spice ball. Bring to a gentle boil then cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 20 min.

Once oil is hot, quickly dredge both sides of fish in seasoned flour and place into the hot oil, working in batches if needed (don't crowd the pan). Saute 3 min per side or until golden, and cooked through, adding more oil as needed.

Add fish and heat until warmed through, turning fish a couple times to coat. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm or cold. It keeps well for 2-3 days in the fridge.

Steps:
- Pat cod fillets dry of excess moisture with paper towels and season with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a 12-inch non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Place cod fillets in the pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on one side.
- Carefully flip the cod fillets to the other side and continue to cook for another 3 to 5 minutes or until cod is cooked through, is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (insert the tines of a fork into the thickest part of the fish at an angle and twist gently; it should flake easily). Time may vary, depending on the thickness of your fillets.Note: Be gentle flipping, especially if using super fresh fish, as the fillets are quite delicate.
- Once fillets are done, carefully remove with a spatula, transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add garlic to the pan and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute.
- Pour in heavy cream, broth and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper.
- Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes or until the sauce has reduced/thickened and coats the back of a spoon when you draw your finger through it. Taste for seasoning and add more, if necessary, to taste.
- Once sauce has thickened to your liking, stir in dill, lemon juice and lemon zest.
- Pour sauce over fish and serve with lemon wedges (if desired). Enjoy!

GREEK BAKED FISH WITH TOMATOES AND ONIONS
The robust flavors in the tomato sauce work well with a variety of white fishes. If you have traveled in the Greek Islands, chances are you have had this fish. Use a white-fleshed fish that will stand up to the robust flavors in the tomato sauce. From the Monterey Bay Aquarium's list of best choices I recommend Pacific cod or halibut, black cod or striped bass. From the "Good Alternatives" list I recommend Mahi Mahi from United States waters.

Steps:
- Pat the fish dry and season to taste with salt and pepper. Oil one or two baking dishes large enough to accommodate the fish in one layer. Lay the fish in the dish and pour on the lemon juice. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onions. Cook, stirring often, until they have softened and begun to color slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Stir in the tomatoes, sugar, paprika, cinnamon, dissolved tomato paste, wine, half the parsley and more salt and pepper to taste and bring to a simmer. Simmer uncovered, stirring often, until the sauce has cooked down a bit and is very fragrant, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour over the fish. Sprinkle on the remaining parsley.
- Place in the oven and bake until the fish is opaque and pulls apart easily with a fork, about 30 minutes. Baste the fish every 10 minutes if it is not submerged in the sauce. Serve hot or warm, with rice, bulgur, or potatoes.
