Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to stew cod with vegetables in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can use whole cod, with skin on, or take already cleaned fillet without skin and bones, fresh or frozen. Frozen fillet in portioned briquettes is also suitable. So choose according to your taste. You don’t have to add white wine at all; in this case, replace it with plain water or water mixed with 1 tsp. tomato paste (ketchup).

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the fish and dry it. Salt and pepper on both sides. If you use frozen fish, you must first defrost it and lightly squeeze out excess moisture, otherwise the fish will not be fried in oil, but stewed.

Step 3

Step 3
If the pieces are very large, it is better to immediately cut them into portions. At first I wanted to cook the fish larger, but large pieces did not fit well in the pan, so I cut them in half.

Step 4

Step 4
Peel the onion and cut into strips or cubes.

Step 5

Step 5
Peel the garlic and finely chop it with a knife.

Step 6

Step 6
Wash the parsley, dry and finely chop.

Step 7

Step 7
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan with a thick bottom. Add onion and garlic, stir-fry for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 8

Step 8
Transfer the onions and garlic to a plate, leaving the flavored oil in the pan. You can not pre-fry the onions and garlic, but first fry the fish in oil, and then add the onions and garlic, thus reducing the cooking process by five minutes. But if you are not in a hurry, it is better to first flavor the oil and then fry the fish in it. It will be more flavorful.

Step 9

Step 9
Add the fish fillets and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Turn the fillet over to the other side and cook for another 3 minutes.

Step 10

Step 10
Return the onion and garlic to the pan.

Step 11

Step 11
Add the tomatoes after crushing them with your fingers. You donʼt have to crush the tomatoes, just cut them in half.

Step 12

Step 12
Pour wine, lemon juice into the pan, add olives and black olives. And simmer everything together over low heat for about 10 minutes until the fish is cooked.

Step 13

Step 13
At the very end, sprinkle the fish with the sauce with chopped parsley and serve. Bon appetit!
