Imagine the sun-kissed shores of Greece, the rustic charm of Italy, and the vibrant flavors of Spain. Pan-Seared Mediterranean Cod with Tomato Basil Sauce brings the essence of the Mediterranean to your plate.

Ingredients:

  1. – 2 Cod fillets
  2. – 1 can (14.5 oz) Diced tomatoes
  3. – 1/4 cup Fresh basil, chopped
  4. – 2 Garlic cloves, minced
  5. – 1 Onion, diced
  6. – 1 Lemon wedge
  7. – 2 cups Spinach
  8. – 1/3 cup Black olives, sliced
  9. – Salt and pepper, to taste
  10. – 2 tbsp Olive oil

Directions:
1. Prep the Ingredients: Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the fresh basil.
2. Sear the Cod: Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper. In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sear the cod for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Once done, remove the cod from the pan and set it aside.
3. Make the Sauce: In the same pan, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until they become fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Then, add the diced tomatoes and cook until they are soft, about another 3-4 minutes. Stir in the chopped basil.
4. Combine Cod and Sauce: Return the seared cod to the pan, spoon the tomato basil sauce over the top, and let it simmer for a few minutes to meld the flavors.
5. Serve: Plate the cod, garnish with a lemon wedge, and serve alongside sautéed spinach and sliced black olives
