Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp green peppercorns drained, roughly chopped
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tbsp double concentrated tomato paste
  • 1 ¾ cups puréed tomatoes
  • 4 cod fillets
  • a pinch of flaky salt
  • ¼ tsp chili flakes for serving
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley for serving

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter over low in a large heavy bottomed skillet or pan. Add onion, garlic and green peppercorns. Sweat for 3 minutes until soft and fragrant. Stir in salt, black pepper, thyme and sugar. Add tomato paste and stir until incorporated. Pour in tomato purée, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Lay the cod fillets in the tomato sauce. Sprinkle the fish with a pinch of flaky salt and black pepper. Cover and simmer over low for 6-8 minutes. The cooking time depends of the thickness of your fillets. Check it with a fork, the flesh will easily flake when it’s cooked.
  • When ready, top with parsley, freshly ground black pepper and chili flakes. Enjoy!
