- Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in the same skillet; add onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives and capers and crushed red pepper, if using, and cook for 3 minutes more. Stir in the spinach and cook until it is wilted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce over the fish and serve.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and onion and saute, stirring until the onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add oregano and thyme, stir. Add tomatoes, olive, capers and about half the parsley. Simmer until tomatoes cook down to a chunky sauce.
- Sprinkle fish with salt on both sides. Push some of the sauce to one side of the pan and spread the rest thinly over the bottom of the pan. Place the fish on top of the sauce in the bottom of the pan and cover with the sauce that you previously pushed aside. Cover the pan and simmer over medium heat until the fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the remaining parsley over the fish and serve.

Steps:
- For the sauce: Add 1/4 cup olive oil and the garlic to a large Dutch oven over medium heat and cook until the garlic is aromatic, about 2 minutes. (Make sure not to overcook the garlic, as there should be no color.) Add the red pepper flakes, then the crushed tomatoes and the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and bring to a simmer. Add the olives and capers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the water reduces from the top, about 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the rosemary sprigs and allow to steep.
- For the caramelized shallots: Meanwhile, heat the butter and oil in a 12-inch saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the shallots, sugar and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
- For the cod: Heat the oil, garlic and basil in a 14-inch saute pan to 120 degrees F and cook until the garlic is golden brown and the basil has started to wilt. Discard the garlic and basil (they have done their job and seasoned the oil).
- Season both sides of the cod with salt. Gently place the cod fillets in the pan, making sure they are submerged, and poach until the fillets turn cloudy white and are firm to the touch with a slight bounce, about 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spatula and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- For serving: Lightly toast the pine nuts in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Toss together with the basil, parsley, oil and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
- Spoon the sauce onto a large platter and nestle the fish on top. Top each filet with a spoonful of caramelized shallots, then sprinkle the pine nut mixture over the fish.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest cod you can find. Fresh cod has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a firm, flaky texture. Avoid cod that is discolored or has a strong fishy smell.
- Soak the cod in milk for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove any impurities and make the fish more tender and flavorful.
- Season the cod with salt and pepper before cooking. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder.
- Cook the cod over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Serve the cod with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or pasta.
