Method:

In a pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil.

Add the garlic, brown it, then add the cod fillets and cook for 3/4 minutes over low heat.

Add the desalted capers, black olives and a bit of parsley. If you prefer a different taste, you can use oregano, fresh or dry, or thyme.

When the fish is cooked on the bottom, turn it over gently and deglaze with the white wine.

When the wine has evaporated, add the tomato and cook for a few more minutes, seasoning with salt. Instead of tomato puree you can use rustic pulp or cherry tomatoes or coarsely chopped peeled tomatoes, it depends on your taste and what you have in the pantry.

Complete your dish with a seasonal mixed salad, boiled potatoes or simply toasted bread.

Buon appetito!
