Tomato Basil Cod- Makes 3 servings
1 lb of cod
1 tbsp olive oil
salt
pepper
garlic powder
onion powder
Sauce:
2 Tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves
Small pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
20 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1/3 cup dry white wine
½ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
3 Tbsp of lemon juice
zest of a lemon, about 1 tsp
1 very small squirt of liquid stevia
salt to taste
pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
On a baking sheet brush the olive oil on the cod and season the fish with the salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder until the fish is well seasoned.
Bake for about 20 minutes depending on the thickness of your fish.
While the fish bakes let's make our sauce.
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium high heat.
Add the garlic to the cold oil with the red pepper flakes (if you are using) and allow to heat together for 1 minute until fragrant.
Then, add in the cherry tomatoes and allow to warm through and begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes.
Add in the white wine to deglaze and stir. Wine will begin to reduce and simmer.
Next, add in the basil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and liquid stevia. Turn heat down to medium low.
Allow this to cook together for about 2 minutes.
Taste for seasoning and add in salt and pepper.
Once the cod is finished plate it up and top with the sauce from the pan.
*I like to serve this with roasted radishes (they mimic potatoes) and asparagus.
OR cauliflower mash and asparagus or broccoli.
