Slow-Cooker Cod with Tomato-Balsamic Jam

Mellow, slightly sweet and devoid of the overt fishy flavor that's polarizing for so many, this slow-cooker cod is perfect for pairing with a show-stopping sauce like this tomato-balsamic jam. Diced pancetta provides a salty counterpart to the sweet onion, tomatoes, vinegar and honey and gives the jam complexity. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired.

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces diced pancetta (about 1/2 cup diced)

  • 1 cup chopped sweet onion (from 1 onion)

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 4 (6 ounce) skinless cod fillets

  • ¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (Optional)

Directions

  1. Cook the pancetta in a nonstick skillet over medium, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer the pancetta and drippings to a 5-quart slow cooker. Add the onion, tomatoes, vinegar, and honey, stirring to combine. Partially cover, and cook on HIGH until the mixture is syrupy and jam-like, about 4 hours.

  2. Stir together the thyme and black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the cod fillets. Place the fish on the tomato mixture in the slow cooker; cover completely, and cook on LOW until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 25 minutes. Serve the cod with the tomato jam; sprinkle with the parsley, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
