Description

Cod Braised in a Ligurian Style

I got this recipe from a delightful blog out of Genoa, but of course I had to substitute cod for sea bream, and I used my braising pan instead of the somewhat messier parchment because it does almost the same thing. 

The key thing, in any event, is the seasonings. That's what makes this a Ligurian-style recipe: fish cooked with capers, pine nuts, olives, and plenty of fresh herbs all feature prominently in the cuisine of this little northwestern-most coastal province, home of Genoa.

Ingredients

2clvGarlic (cut in half)
2eaRosemary sprig
4eaSage Leaf
2TExtra-Virgin Olive Oil
1TCapers (freshened in water)
1TBlack Olives (pitted and sliced)
1TPine Nuts
1 1⁄2lbCod Fillet

Instructions

  1. In a braising pan with a heavy lid, drizzle the oil and then spread the garlic, herbs, freshened capers, sliced olives, and pine nuts. Lay the fillets on top.
  2. Cook over low-moderate heat for about 25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked and the steam is heavy with the blended aromas. If it's not ready when you check, baste the fish with some of the liquid and cover it again.
  3. Uncover and serve direct from the pan.
