Mild-flavored cod fish is gently poached in a richly flavored tomato sauce. They are the perfect match for each other. To make a sauce that is deliciously bold we use a couple of tricks.
Gordal olives. They add a wonderful depth of flavor to the sauce. Capers. Salty and tasty. Red wine. Just a little more than a splash adds a ton of flavor. Smoked paprika. Even the little bit that we use here gives the sauce a beautiful, subtle smokiness.
Gordal means “the fat one” in Spanish and is sometimes referred to as “the beauty of Spain.” Their delicate flavor makes them easy to love. It’s a good thing as they’re a healthy snack option! Did you know that in Canada, one out of every two olives eaten comes from Spain, including the Gordal olives used in this cod with tomato sauce recipe? That’s it! You’ve just made cod with tomato sauce! But the sauce freezes very well! It will keep well for up to 3 months in your freezer. When you want to make this recipe, simply warm it and add the cod to the hot sauce to cook.
Pasta. We like spaghetti, but any kind will work well. Some steamed basmati or even healthy cauliflower rice. Some crusty bread to mop up the sauce. Try our no yeast bread with herbs and cheese! And don’t forget a side of those tasty Gordal olives!
