Preparation

Step 1

Over medium-low heat, saute bell peppers, onions, and whole garlic cloves in olive oil until vegetables are limp. Add crushed tomatoes, olives, and seasoning or lemon pepper. Continue cooking until garlic cloves are easily pierced with a fork. (Add a bit of water if the mixture becomes too dry.)

Raise heat to medium. Add cod filets to the mixture. Saute until cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if desired.

Serve cod filets with the Provencal sauce over the top.

Yield: 4 servings

Notes: Any firm whitefish may be substituted for the cod, such as halibut, grouper, or shark.
