Tomato-Poached Fish with Chile Oil and Herbs is a simple yet elegant dish featuring poached cod in a rich tomato sauce, infused with garlic, herbs, and a spicy chile oil kick.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cod fillets (or any white fish of your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking the fish)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) of diced tomatoes (or use fresh tomatoes if available)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for heat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chile oil (for an extra layer of flavor)
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (1–2 minutes). Add diced tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir and let the sauce simmer for 10–15 minutes until thickened.
  2. Place cod fillets skin-side down in the tomato sauce. Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and let the fish poach for 10–12 minutes until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Drizzle chile oil over the poached fish and sprinkle with chopped basil and parsley for garnish.
  4. Serve the poached fish over rice, quinoa, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

Notes

  • Use fresh tomatoes for a fresher taste.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes based on your heat preference.
  • Pair with a side salad for a complete meal.
