Seared Cod with Tomato Basil Sauce
Mediterranean Cod Delight in Aromatic Tomato Basil Broth
RecipeIngredients:
4 cod fillets (6 ounces each)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, for dusting
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions:
Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper and lightly dust with flour.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cod fillets and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the cod from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic, and sauté until onion is translucent.
Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to break down.
Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a simmer and let the liquid reduce by half.
Return the cod to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through.
Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve.
