Pan-Seared Cod in Tomato + White Wine Sauce 🍅🐟🌱
Looking for something a little fancy, yet really simple for Dinner?
Our Pan-Seared Cod in Tomato White Wine Sauce is made using just ONE PAN on the stove top, yet the flavors are deep and complex. Your family will think you spent a whole lot more time preparing this restaurant-worthy meal!
➡️Rachel’s Notes:
Tomato puree has a thicker consistency and a deeper flavor than tomato sauce. It’s made by cooking and straining tomatoes.
Be sure to check the ingredients; the only ingredient should be tomatoes.
If you do not have wine on hand, you may substitute wine for vegetable or chicken broth.
The wine adds flavor and is used to deglaze your skillet.
All of the alcohol will cook out of your final meal, so no worries there.
Do not use “cooking wine” as most of those have a flavor much like rubbing alcohol…LOL.
For best flavor and results, use a decent to nicer bottle of dry wine that one would actually drink, because this will produce the very best flavor.
➡️Serving suggestions:
Serve alongside steamed brown rice, quinoa, and our Parmesan Roasted Broccoli.
