Ingredients

  • 4-6 cod fillets, 4 oz each
  • Salt u0026 pepper
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Olive oil

Tomato Sauce

  • 1 can whole peeled tomatoes, 14 oz
  • 1 cup water or vegetable broth
  • 2 shallots, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Fresh chopped basil and parsley, to top

Directions

  1. Season the cod fillets with salt, pepper and the Italian seasoning on both sides.
  2. Heat a large pan on medium heat then drizzle in some olive oil. Once hot, add in the shallots and saute for about 2 minutes
  3. Add in the crushed garlic and cook for another 1-2 minute, until fragrant
  4. Pour in the can of whole tomatoes, water and spices. Cover and cook on medium/low for about 5-6 minutes.
  5. Gently mash the tomatoes then taste and adjust any seasoning to your liking. Add in the olives and the cod fillets. I like to sprinkle a little extra Italian seasoning over the top
  6. Cover the pan and simmer the fish for about 8-10 minutes, until the cod flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh chopped basil and parsley
