Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 small onion, sliced (1 cup)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 cans (28 ounces each) peeled whole tomatoes, pureed (about 6 cups)
1 cup water
5 pounds cod, cut into ten 4-inch pieces
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces pitted prunes, cut into thirds
3 or 4 rosemary sprigs
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Heat grapeseed oil in an extra-large straight-sided skillet (or 2 medium skillets) over medium heat. Add onion, and cook until translucent, about 6 minutes. Add vinegar, and cook for 30 seconds. Add tomato puree and water, and bring to a boil.

This recipe is a good starting point, but it's a bit too basic for me. I'll add some additional ingredients, such as capers, olives, and artichoke hearts, to make it more flavorful.

The sauce was too tart for my liking. I'll add a bit of sugar or honey next time to balance out the flavors.

The cod was a bit overcooked. I'll reduce the cooking time by a few minutes next time.

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I'll add some red pepper flakes next time to give it a little kick.

I would have liked the sauce to be a bit thicker. Next time, I'll add a cornstarch slurry to the sauce before serving.

I'm not usually a fan of prunes, but they worked surprisingly well in this dish. They added a subtle sweetness that balanced out the tanginess of the tomatoes.

The cod was cooked perfectly - moist and tender, just the way I like it. The tomato sauce was flavorful and complemented the fish beautifully.
