Ingredients

• 4 pieces cod fillets
• 6 pieces plum tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 cup white wine
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the ingredients: Dice the plum tomatoes and finely chop the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley.

Step 2

Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large, deep skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 6

Add the diced plum tomatoes to the skillet and stir. Cook for 5 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down and release their juices.

Step 7

Pour in the white wine and vegetable broth. Add the fresh thyme sprigs and stir. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Place the cod fillets into the skillet, spooning some of the tomato mixture over them. Cover the skillet with a lid.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and let the cod braise for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and discard the thyme sprigs. Drizzle the cod and tomato mixture with lemon juice.

Step 11

Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately. This dish pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, steamed rice, or roasted vegetables.
