Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the thinly sliced onion and minced garlic; sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add a splash of water if the onions begin to stick.
  3. Pour in the red wine, fish stock (or clam juice), capers, and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer the sauce until it reduces to approximately 1/2 cup, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Season the cod chunks with salt and pepper. Gently add the fish to the simmering sauce.
  6. Cover the skillet and cook over very low heat until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and gently stir in the chopped parsley.
  8. Carefully spoon the fish and sauce into deep plates, serving immediately over rice or with crusty bread.
