Pan-Seared Mediterranean Cod in Tomato Basil Sauce
Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 15 minutes | Servings: 4

Ingredients
4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each, patted dry)

2 tbsp olive oil, divided

1/2 tsp salt, divided

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp dried oregano

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 pint (2 cups) cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth (or dry white w**e)

2 tbsp capers, drained

1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

Instructions
Season Fish: Pat cod fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with 1/4 tsp salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

Sear Cod: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cod fillets and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 145°F). Transfer fish to a plate and set aside.

Build Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add cherry tomatoes, remaining 1/4 tsp salt, capers, kalamata olives, and broth.

Simmer: Cook sauce over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes, gently pressing the tomatoes with a spoon to burst them and release their juices. Stir in fresh basil.

Combine & Serve: Nestled the seared cod back into the skillet with the sauce for 1 minute to warm through. Spoon tomato basil sauce over the fish and serve warm.
