Ingredients
Tomato Butter & Herb Sauce
- 1 Shallot finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Garlic minced
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 pint Grape Tomatoes
- 1/2 cup Chicken Broth
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Sugar
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Basil
- 1 tbsp Parsley
- 1/2 cup White Wine
Cod
- 2 lbs Cod Haddock, Pollack, or Schrod are fine too
- 1 Lemon
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
Tomato Herb & Butter
- In a small pan heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Sauté shallot and garlic for 4-5 minutes or until soft, stirring occasionally.
- Add tomatoes, chicken stock, sea salt, red pepper flakes, and sugar. Simmer, uncovered, for 15-17 minutes or until tomatoes break down and release their juices and liquid has almost evaporated.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and fresh herbs. The herb butter should be velvety and thick. Cover and keep warm while the cod is baking.
- Right before the cod is done, add the white wine and let simmer for a couple of minutes so that it reduces.
Cod
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Drizzle olive oil lightly on the bottom of a casserole dish large enough to fit the cod in a single layer.
- Pat dry the cod really well and place in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle lightly with olive oil and fresh squeezed lemon. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 12-18 minutes or until easily flaked. Baking time will depend on the thickness of the cod.
- Remove from the oven and evenly spread the tomato butter over the cod. Cover back with aluminum foil and let stand at room temperature for 1-2 minutes before serving so that the flavors come together.
- ENJOY!
