Seared Cod in White Wine Tomato Basil Sauce makes a tasty and nutritious paleo supper. Seared to perfection, the cod fillets are presented in a flavorful sauce consisting of tomatoes, white wine, and fresh basil.
Ingredients: 4 cod fillets 6-8 ounces each. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1/2 cup diced onion. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved. 1/2 cup dry white wine. 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Use salt and pepper to season the cod fillets. In a big skillet set over medium-high heat, warm up the olive oil. When the cod fillets have a golden crust and are cooked through, add them to the skillet and sear them for three to four minutes on each side. After taking them out of the skillet, set them aside. Add the diced onion and garlic to the same skillet. Saute the onion for two to three minutes, or until it turns translucent. Add the cherry tomatoes, cut in half, and cook for an additional two minutes to soften them. Add the dry white wine and simmer until it reduces slightly, about 3 to 4 minutes. To ensure the cod fillets are thoroughly heated in the sauce, return them to the skillet and cook for a further two minutes. Serve the cod and sauce hot, topped with freshly chopped basil.
