SKILLET TOMATO-BRAISED COD WITH BELL PEPPERS AND OUZO

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, onion, and bell peppers in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook gently until softened, stirring occasionally, 5 to 10 minutes.

Add water and mint, then season with salt and pepper. Simmer gently until sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes.
