MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE COD FISH FILLET

Steps:

• Wash the codfish fillet and pat dry with kitchen towels.
• Toss the fillet with the thyme leaves, salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle the flour over the fillet.
• Heat the olive oil in a pan and very quickly pan-fry the fillet.
• Dish out.
• Remove half of the cooking oil and add the chopped garlic, capers, basil and cherry tomatoes.
• Add the fish stock all at once (this will produce a stream of light smoke and this method is called deglazing) and allow to simmer to half the quantity.
• Add the tomato puree and mix well before adding the black olives.
• Sprinkle in the chopped parsley.
• Arrange the fish fillet on a platter and spoon the sauce over it.
