How to Make Braised Cod With Plum Tomatoes

  1. Season both sides of 4 cod steaks (6 oz each) with 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  2. Slice 1 pint plum tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices. Sprinkle the tomato slices with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large sauté pan over high heat.
  4. Add cod steaks and tomato slices to the hot pan.
  5. Cook until cod steaks are golden brown on the bottom, about 4 1/2 minutes.
  6. Carefully flip the cod steaks and tomatoes using a metal spatula.
  7. Add 1 cup water and 4 cloves minced garlic to the pan. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.
  8. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the cod is cooked through, flakes easily with a fork, and the tomatoes are tender, about 4 minutes.
  9. Divide the braised cod, tomatoes, and cooking broth evenly among four bowls.
  10. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
