Number Of Ingredients 9

- 2 t. olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced (i used 4)
- 1/2 t. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 c dry white wine (i used fish stock)
- 14.5 oz can whole peeled tomatoes
- 2 bay leaves
- pinch of saffron threads
- salt, pepper, to taste
- 4 5-ounce skinless cod fillets

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and pepper and cook, stirring often, until fragrant (garlic should not take on any color), about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, crushing with your hands as you add them, wine, bay leaves, saffron, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until flavors meld, 5-7 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low; season cod with salt and pepper and place in skillet. Cover and cook at a bare simmer until cod is opaque throughout and beginning to flake, 5-7 minutes (thicker pieces will take longer to cook). Gently transfer cod to shallow bowls and spoon poaching liquid over.
