Print Recipe

ingredients

• 2-6oz Harris Teeter Fisherman’s Market Cod Fillets, rinsed and patted dry
• 2T HT Traders Olive Oil
• 2tsp Cajun’s Choice Creole Seasoning Blend
• ½ Cup Simi Sonoma Chardonnay
• 2T tomato paste
• ¼ cup heavy Crème
• 2T Gourmet Garden Cilantro

Directions

1. Heat A skillet over medium high heat for 2 minutes. While the skillet heats, liberally season the cod fillets with the Cajuns choice seasoning, coating the fillets well.
2. Add the Olive Oil to the pan, and swirl to coat. Sear the cod for 3 minutes per side, and lower the heat and continue to cook until the fillets are opaque and just beginning to flake; gently remove them from the pan, and set aside covered with foil to keep warm.
3. Take pan away from the heat, and add the Simi Chardonnay, and gently scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
4. Lower the heat, and using a whisk, add the tomato paste and the heavy crème and stir to combine.
5. Add the gourmet Garden cilantro and combine thoroughly.
6. Allow sauce to bubble and thicken slightly, and you may add additional Cajun’s Choice Seasoning to taste if desired.
7. Pour the thickened sauce over the cod fillets and enjoy with a chilled glass of Simi Chardonnay!
