Note

Ensure the cod is cut into 2-inch chunks to ensure even cooking. If using pollack, the cooking time remains similar.

For a vegetarian version, omit the cod and clam broth, substituting with vegetable broth and increasing the vegetable quantity.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to prevent the fish from breaking apart.

Fresh herbs provide the best flavor, but 1 teaspoon of dried basil and thyme can be used if fresh is unavailable.
