Steps
If using frozen cod, take it out of the freezer about half an hour before.
Peel the onion and garlic clove and chop both.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half, or into six parts if large, set aside.
Rinse the capers well to remove the salt in which they are preserved.
In a large pan, place some oil, add the chopped garlic and onion, chili pepper to taste and let them flavor for a minute, add the olives, capers, let them flavor further, then add the cherry tomatoes, the tomato sauce, and 20 ml of water, cook on low heat until the tomatoes wilt.Now add the cod fillets, adjust the salt, add a grind of pepper, cover with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes on medium-low heat.
Gently turn the cod over to the other side, cover with the lid, and cook for another 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, chop some parsley.
At this point, remove the lid, raise the heat and let the sauce dry by shaking the pan often.
Check the salt and add the chopped parsley.
As soon as the sauce is creamy, everything is ready.
Serve immediately.
Plate the fish along with its sauce.
The Mediterranean cod is ready to be enjoyed, bon appétit!
