Prep Time: 15 min.
Cook Time: 45 min.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cup lightly-packed fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon oregano, divided
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
- 4 cod fillets (6 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced (about 1-1/2 cups)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Hot cooked whole wheat pasta
- Minced fresh parsley, optional
Directions:
- Place tomatoes, basil, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, and garlic in a blender. Cover and process until pureed.
- Pat fish dry with paper towels. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add cod fillets; cook until surface of fish begins to color, 2 - 4 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In same skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until tender, 2-4 minutes. Stir in seasonings and pureed tomatoes; bring to a boil. Add cod; return just to a boil, spooning sauce over tops. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 5 - 7 minutes. Serve with pasta. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.
