Cod With Tomato Ginger Sauce

1. 1

   In a large deep frying pan, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the ginger; cook, stirring, 2 minutes longer. Add the tomatoes and salt and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the fillets and black pepper to the pan and cook, covered, until just done, 10 to 12 minutes longer for 1-inch thick fillets. Stir the cilantro into the sauce. Serve the fish topped with the sauce.

3. 3

   Fish Alternatives: Other relatively firm, thick fillets or steaks that would be good include orange roughy, grouper, and halibut.

4. 4

   Variation: Cod with Spicy Tomato Ginger Sauce: Add 1 chopped jalapeno pepper to the sauce along with the fresh ginger.

5. 5

   Wine Recommendation: Look for an acidic white without too much personality, so the wine won't get in the way of the tomato ginger sauce. Try a Portuguese vinhoverde or a refreshing French Cotes de Gascogne.
