COD IN TOMATOES WITH WINE
Steps:
- Slice an 'X' in the bottom of each tomato. Bring a pot of water to a boil; boil tomatoes for 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl of iced water for 1 minute. Peel tomatoes, starting from the 'X' side; chop.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over low heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add chile pepper and tomatoes; cook and stir until tomatoes begin reduce, 5 to 8 minutes. Pour in wine; cook over medium heat until wine reduces slightly, about 5 more minutes. Stir in salt, black pepper, basil, and parsley.
- Place cod loins into tomato mixture; cover and cook for 5 minutes. Turn cod and cook other side until fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 5 minutes. Add prawns; cover and cook until prawns are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Steps:
- Saute the garlic in the olive oil until it starts to turn light tan in color.
- Add the white wine and bring to a boil.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F
- In a baking dish large enough to eventually accomodate the cod fillets, place the tomatoes in a single layer. Drizzle 1/2 of the olive oil over the tomatoes and sprinkle with kosher salt. Roast the tomatoes until they are very soft, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove the tomatoes from the oven and decrease temperature to 350°F Place tomatoes in a small bowl, add the garlic and basil, toss to combine well and set aside.
- Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper and drizzle remaining olive oil over the fillets. Place the cod in the baking dish the tomatoes were roasted in and pour wine and tomato mixture over the fish. Cover the dish with foil and bake the fish until just cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use a good quality cod fillet. Look for a fillet that is firm and white, with no brown spots or blemishes.
- Pat the cod fillet dry before cooking. This will help to prevent the fish from steaming instead of poaching.
- Use a flavorful poaching liquid. The poaching liquid should be flavorful enough to infuse the cod with flavor, but not so strong that it overpowers the delicate flavor of the fish.
- Poach the cod gently. The poaching liquid should be simmering, not boiling. Boiling will cause the cod to toughen.
- Cook the cod until it is just cooked through. Overcooked cod will be dry and tough.
- Serve the cod immediately. Poached cod is best served immediately, while it is still hot and flaky.
Conclusion:
White wine poached cod is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes. If you are looking for a simple and flavorful seafood dish, white wine poached cod is a great option.
