This Pan Seared Cod w/ Veggie Relish & Capers recipe idea was derived one evening when I was trying to combine a protein and veggies for a delicious and quick one pan dish. This is actually a copycat of a chicken dish where the breast is sautéed with sun-dried tomatoes and capers. I wanted a lighter protein and decided to pick up a few cod filets to remix this mediterranean type dish. However, once home I realized I was out of sun-dried tomatoes! So I substituted fresh grape tomatoes instead and combined some other fresh veggies I found in the fridge! The end result...pescatarian deliciousness! Pan Seared Cod w/ Veggie Relish & CapersMain Ingredients
4 pieces of cod fillet, cleaned and pat dry 1 cup grape tomatoes sliced in half 1.5 cup fresh broccoli florets 1 shallot, thinly sliced 1 tbsp minced garlic 2 tbsp capers 4 tbsp butter 2 tbsp olive oil 1/4 cup white wine 2 tbsp abstract spice 1 tsp sea salt fresh cracked pepper 4 cups fresh spinach *lemon juice Preparation 1Add fresh spinach leaves to a serving platter. 2Preheat skillet with 2 tbsp of butter on medium-hight heat. 3Pat cod fillets dry. Lightly rub each fillet with olive oil. 4Season both sides with Abstract Spice. 5Sear both sides of cod until browned and crispy on the edges (approximately 2 minutes on each side). 6Remove fish and set atop fresh spinach on serving platter. 7Add wine to de-glaze the pan, removing bits stuck onto skillet. Add shallots and minced garlic to skillet and sauté for approximately 1 minute. 8Add remaining olive oil, tomatoes, broccoli, and salt- cook for 2- 3 minutes. 9Blend in remaining butter, capers, and fresh cracked pepper to taste- simmer until butter is completely melted. 10Pour vegetable relish on top of fish; squeeze lemon juice on top to finish. 11Serve and enjoy! Additional Notes: *Feel free to substitute your preferred protein and whatever vegetables you have on hand. #MakeItYourOwn!
