Ingredients

1 fillet of cod (approximately 20g protein)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)
1/4 cup pitted black olives, chopped
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Pat dry the cod fillet with paper towels and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the red pepper flakes, black olives, and capers to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Gently place the seasoned cod fillet on top of the sautéed mixture in the skillet.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes around the cod fillet. Pour the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth into the skillet.
Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 8-10 minutes or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the cod fillet.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top for garnish.
Serve the Cod alla Puttanesca with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
