You know I'm very fishy, I would say more fish than meat. Probably being born by the sea has a lot to do with this, and perhaps that is why we also eat a lot of fish at home, twice a week. So I try to alternate ingredients, oven and pan so that the flavors and textures are varied. This today e3s of our favorites. I hope you like it as much as we do.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 desalted cod loin, cut into portions
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 crushed cayenne pepper
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 1/4 cup dry white wine,
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 chives sticks, chopped
- zest of 1 lemon
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Salt and pepper the cod on both sides. When the oil shines, add the pieces of cod and brown for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. We booked on a plate.
In the same pan, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and garlic, thyme and cayenne. Cook for a couple of minutes. Add the butter and stir until it melts and browns, 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the wine and tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes burst and the wine has reduced slightly.
Return the cod and juice that you have released to the pan and cook until heated, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
Serve the cod with the tomatoes with the sauce of the pan on top. We finish with a little chopped chives and lemon zest.
