I love being creative each time I make a recipe! Try this one and let me know what you think! I absolutely love olive tapenade and think it is a great complement to a lot of recipes! You can make your own or buy it already made. Enjoy this delightful recipe with a white wine from Provence!

 

Preparation: 25 min; cooking time: 20 min.

4 thick cod fillets (about 1 ¾ lbs.)

4 zucchini, peeled and diced

2 tbsp. Italian parsley, chopped

1 tbsp. fresh basil, chopped + fresh basil leaves for garnish

2 tbsp. unsalted butter

2 tbsp. olive oil                  

1 jar olive tapenade

Warm 2 tbsp. olive oil in a sauté pan on medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, parsley and basil and cook 10-15 minutes or until tender. Season with salt and pepper.

Season the cod with salt and pepper.

Warm the butter in a large frying pan on high heat. Add the cod and cook 3 minutes. Turn it over and cook 2 minutes.

Scoop the zucchini into plates. Serve the cod on top of the vegetables. Add some olive tapenade on top of the fish and around. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
