Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium finely chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Stir in 1 can crushed tomatoes (14 oz), 1 cup fish stock, 1/2 cup dry white wine, the zest and juice of 1 lemon, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 1/2 tsp dried oregano. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 (6 oz) cod fillets and 1 cup diced potatoes to the pot. Simmer gently for 8 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and fish is cooked through (opaque and flaky).
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1/2 cup diced bell peppers and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat, stir in 2 tbsp chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
