Ingredients

  • 600 g cod fish fillets
  • 5 g thyme leaves
  • salt and pepper
  • 5 g plain flour
  • 20 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 10 g capers (optional)
  • 20 g basil leaves, chopped coarsely
  • 200 g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 50 ml fish stock
  • 4 tablespoons tomato puree
  • 20 g pitted black olives

Method

  • Wash the codfish fillet and pat dry with kitchen towels.
  • Toss the fillet with the thyme leaves, salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the fillet.
  • Heat the olive oil in a pan and very quickly pan-fry the fillet.
  • Dish out.
  • Remove half of the cooking oil and add the chopped garlic, capers, basil and cherry tomatoes.
  • Add the fish stock all at once (this will produce a stream of light smoke and this method is called deglazing) and allow to simmer to half the quantity.
  • Add the tomato puree and mix well before adding the black olives.
  • Sprinkle in the chopped parsley.
  • Arrange the fish fillet on a platter and spoon the sauce over it.
  • Serve with sauteed potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
