Buttery Cod in a Skillet Pan Sauce

Preparation Instructions

COOK FISH: Cook Morey's Wild Cod Butter and Herb according to package directions of your choice (we used the baking method).

COOK PASTA: While fish is cooking, add pasta to a large pot of boiling salted water. Cook al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water and drain.

MAKE PAN SAUCE: In a large skillet over medium-low heat, add olive oil. Stir in onions and garlic and cook until onions become translucent (about 5 minutes).

Add halved cherry tomatoes and juice of 1/2 lemon. Cover and cook 5 minutes or until tomatoes are soft, mashing occasionally with a potato masher. Add 1/4 cup of the pasta water (more if your need a thinner sauce).

Salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with fresh basil leaves.

TO SERVE: Spoon pasta into bowls. Top with cod and spoon sauce over. Give each a squeeze of lemon juice. Top with Parmesan if you like, and garnish with basil.

PRO TIP: Change up your sauce to one with a Latin flavor by adding in half of a finely chopped jalapeño and trading cilantro for the basil.
