Pan Fried Cod With Onions & Tomatoes

This is a dish I like to make when I'm short on time and want something nutritious and delicious. Delicate flaky cod with sweet tomatoes, herbs and onions plus smoky paprika make this pretty irresistible. I like to serve it on some wholegrain rice mixed with quinoa.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat a large heavy based non-stick frying pan up over a medium heat. Add the olive oil. Once hot, add in the onions and begin to fry for around four minutes until becoming soft and golden on the edges. Scrape the onions to the sides of the pan then add in the cod fillets. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until just becoming golden then flip them over.

Now add in the tomato slices by placing them in and around the cod pieces on top of the onions. Sprinkle over the cayenne pepper & smoked paprika then season well with salt & pepper.

Add the crushed garlic and the dried parsley then gently stir it through the onions and tomatoes. Fry for around 30 seconds until fragrant then de-glaze the pan with a good dash of water. Bring to a simmer and cook for another minute or two. Scatter over the fresh basil leaves - once wilted, remove from pan from the heat. Serve up and enjoy! :)

Cod, Potato and Tomato Soup Cod, Potato and Tomato Soup
I made this soup with leftover cod and vegetables. Even though I didn't use any bouillon cubes, the soup was still very flavourful. My daughter loved it and finished it all. I wanted to save this dish as a part of my family's repertoire.This is a simply flavoured soup. Skim off the scum carefully.The black peppercorns enhance the flavour of the soup, so they are essential. (But you can leave them out when you serve this soup to your children.)The saltiness of the cod affects the taste of the soup. Check the seasoning and adjust the salt to your taste.
