    Instructions

    1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 7

      Carefully transfer each steamed cod fillet to a plate and spoon a generous amount of the smoky tomato sauce over the top.

    8. 8

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