- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 shallot thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
- 20 ounces grape tomatoes
- 3/4 cup dry white wine
- 1.5 pounds cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons fresh basil thinly sliced
- Lemon wedges for serving
Make the sauce. Heat a large skillet to medium-high with the olive oil. When it's hot, add the shallots, garlic and crushed pepper flakes. Sauté until fragrant, stirring frequently, about 1 minutes. Next, add the tomatoes and season with coarse salt. When the tomatoes have softened, add the white wine and bring to a simmer.
Poach the fish. Season the fish with salt & pepper, and arrange the fish in the pan, nestling pieces between the tomatoes. Reduce heat to medium-low and allow the fish to cook for about 6 - 8 minutes, depending on thickness, or until the fish is cooked through and opaque.
Garnish and serve. Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve the fish with a generous portion of broth and tomatoes. Serve with lemon slices and additional basil if desired.
