Instructions
- 1
Prepare the steaming setup by adding water to a pot and bringing it to a simmer, then season 2 (170-gram) cod fillets generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- 2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat, then add 1 minced clove of garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 3
Add 250 grams of halved cherry tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon of chipotle powder to the skillet, cooking for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes begin to break down and soften.
- 4
Pour in 60 ml of dry white wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly, allowing the flavors to meld into a smoky tomato sauce.
- 5
While the sauce simmers, place the seasoned cod fillets in a steamer basket over the simmering water and steam for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- 6
Stir 1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil leaves into the tomato sauce and taste, adjusting with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed.
- 7
Carefully transfer each steamed cod fillet to a plate and spoon a generous amount of the smoky tomato sauce over the top.

Garnish each serving with 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
