Ingredients

  • 2 cod fillets (4 oz each)
  • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil (enough to come halfway up fish)
  • 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
  • ¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
  • 1 Tbsp capers, rinsed
  • 1 clove garlic, sliced
  • Pinch dried basil & oregano

Directions

  1. Warm oil in small skillet until shimmery, not smoking (about 180 °F / 82 °C).
  2. Slip in cod; poach gently 8 min, spooning oil over top.
  3. Meanwhile, simmer tomatoes, olives, capers, garlic & herbs 6 min.
  4. Plate cod, spoon ragù alongside; drizzle a little poaching oil.
    Pro-tip: Use the leftover flavored oil tomorrow to sauté veggies—zero waste, max flavor.
