Ingredients
4 tsp. olive oil
2 cloves garlic (2 tsp.), thinly sliced
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 can (14.5 oz.) no salt added whole peeled tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup white wine
2 bay leaves
pinch of saffron threads
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper, ground
4 5-ounce skinless cod fillets
1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil to the pan and swirl to coat, then toss in the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring often until it becomes fragrant, about 3 minutes.
2. Place the tomatoes in the pan, crushing with your hands as you put them in. (Remember to drain the tomatoes first.) Then stir in the wine, bay leaves, saffron and water. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Once it’s boiling, reduce heat to simmer, cover and stir occasionally. Keep cooking until the flavors combine, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the cod fillets and place them in the skillet. Cover and cook the cod on medium low until the fish turns opaque and stars to flake, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Transfer cod and tomatoes to serving dishes and spoon the poaching liquid over the top.
