For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato mixture for a subtle heat. Ensure the cod is thoroughly dry before seasoning and pan-frying to achieve a beautiful sear. Serve immediately after cooking to enjoy the cod at its peak tenderness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepCombine tomatoes, shallot, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, capers, and salt in a bowl, and set aside. (5 minutes)
02
StepAbout 15 minutes before cooking, remove cod from the refrigerator, so it can come to room temperature. Cut cod into pieces, thoroughly pat filets dry with a paper towel, and generously season both sides with salt and pepper. (20 minutes)
03
StepHeat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, melt butter, and swirl to coat. Add cod, and do not move the pieces until it is time to flip them over. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Carefully remove the filets from the skillet with a spatula to a serving plate. (10 minutes)
04
StepReduce the heat to medium and In the same skillet, add the tomato mixture. Cook and scrape up any bits stuck to the skillet bottom and stir until the tomatoes just begin to soften, about 2 minutes. (5 minutes)
05
StepSpoon tomato mixture over filets, garnish with parsley, and serve. (2 minutes)
