How to Make Mediterranean Skillet Cod South Beach Diet Phase 1

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium zucchini, diced, 1/2 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, until vegetables are softened.
  4. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, and 1/2 cup jarred roasted red peppers (or 1/2 cup chopped Spanish Pequillo peppers), simmering over medium heat for another 10 minutes.
  5. Gently nestle 4 (4-6 ounce) cod fillets into the sauce, spooning some of the mixture over the top of each fillet.
  6. Cover the pan and continue to simmer until the fish is opaque and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately in shallow bowls with soup spoons to enjoy every bit of the delicious sauce!
