Cod with Moroccan Spiced Tomatoes

Step 1

Heat the oil in a 12-inch over medium. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and salt. Sauté until the onion is softened and beginning to turn golden brown, 4-6 minutes.

Step 2

Add the roasted red peppers and garlic. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant, 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the paprika, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Allow the spices to warm in the hot oil for 30 seconds.

Step 4

Pour in the canned tomatoes, ½ cup water, and prepared grape tomatoes. Cover and simmer until the tomatoes break down, 8-10 minutes.

Step 5

Once the tomato sauce has cooked, add the cod filets by nestling them into the sauce. Cover and simmer until the cod reaches 145°F, 12-15 minutes. In the last 5 minutes, remove the lid to reduce the sauce slightly.

Step 6

Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, chopped cilantro, and crumbled feta, if desired.
