DIRECTIONS
Preparing the Cod
- Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Season each side with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and oregano.
Preparing the Mediterranean Sauce
- In a large skillet, add 2 tablespoon olive oil and your butter. Sauté the diced shallot over medium heat until the shallot becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add in the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Add the cherry tomatoes and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the wine and lemon juice and reduce for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the onion powder, garlic powder, basil, Calabrian chili, and vegetable bouillon. Simmer until combined.
- Add in the cod and olives. Spoon some sauce over the cod, cover and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes. Add in the chopped fresh basil and cook for another 5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145F. Make sure to not overcook or the fish will become rubbery.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Optional: I love to top with crumbled feta cheese.
