Ingredients

30 ml olive oil, divided
700 g fresh cod, cut into 4 fillets
Salt and pepper to taste
3 large cloves garlic, finely minced
500 g cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
30 g Dalia's Pantry Original Harissa
60 ml vegetable broth
45 ml fresh lemon juice, divided (15 ml for sauce, 30 ml for seasoning)
15 g fresh basil, finely chopped
2.5 g fresh lemon zest
1.25 g crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Additional fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

Season and Marinate the Cod

Season both sides of the code fish with salt and pepper.
Drizzle 15 ml of olive oil and 30 ml of lemon juice over the fillets

Prepare the Sauce

Heat 15 ml of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the vegetable broth, 15 ml of lemon juice, and Dalia's Pantry Original Harissa. Mix well.
Add the fresh basil, lemon zest, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and the sauce is well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

Pan-Sear the Cod

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 15 ml of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully place the cod fillets in the skillet.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fillets are golden brown and opaque, and flake easily with a fork. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the fillets.

Combine and Serve

Once the cod is cooked, transfer it to a plate.
Pour the prepared Harissa-tomato sauce back into the skillet and heat over medium until warmed through.
Spoon the sauce over the pan-seared cod fillets.

Garnish and Serve

Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
Serve the Pan-Seared Cod with Cherry Tomatoes, Basil, and Dalia's Pantry Original Harissa hot, accompanied by your choice of side dishes such as rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad.
