Ingredients

Directions

  • Season fish with 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon thyme; cook, stirring, until beginning to soften, about 1 minute. Add wine, tomatoes and the fish to the pan; bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until the fish is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer the fish to a plate; keep warm.

  • Whisk cream and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add to the pan, along with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon thyme and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Divide the fish and sauce among 2 shallow bowls.

Tips

Tip: Overfishing and trawling have drastically reduced the number of cod in the U.S. and Canadian Atlantic Ocean and destroyed its sea floor. For sustainably fished cod, choose U.S. Pacific cod or Atlantic cod from Iceland and the northeast Arctic. For more information, visit Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch at seafoodwatch.org.

Delicious I made a lot of substitutions (onion basil sherry cooking wine fire roasted tomatoes) so didn't hold much hope it would be good. I was wrong. But it was great. I didn't have cream so I whisked together equal parts reduced sour cream and 1% milk and it really did make a great substitute. Next time I will break up the fish and serve it over pasta. Double or triple the garlic. Pros: Easy healthy quick Read More

Even my non-fish eater loved this! The lovely sauce would also be great on chicken or zucchini or anything else you can think of once you try it. I subbed low-fat sour cream and low-fat milk for the cream. Will definitely make this often. Read More

My husband loved it and my daughter said the recipe was a keeper. When I added the half and half and cornstarch mixture to the pan the cream separated. Read More

This was very good and easy. I used tilapia instead of cod and it turned out great. I did add a little extra fat free half and half to the recipe to make more sauce. Served over brown rice. Read More
