Leghorn-Style Cod
- 1 cup/140g all-purpose flour
- Fine sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 skinless fresh cod fillets (about 8 oz/225g each)
- 1/4 cup/55ml vegetable oil, such as soybean or canola
- 1/4 cup/55ml olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 4 fresh plum tomatoes, quartered
- 3 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
- Spread the flour out on a clean, dry surface and season it with salt and pepper.
- Press both sides of the fillets into the flour.
- Reserve.
- Warm the vegetable oil in a pan wide and deep enough to hold the fish without crowding over high heat.
- Add the fish, skinned-side down, and cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
- Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 3 minutes more.
- Transfer the fish to paper towels to drain.
- Warm the olive oil in a pan wide and deep enough to hold all the ingredients over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and red pepper to the pan, stir, and cook until the garlic has colored slightly, about 2 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the fish, lower the heat to low, and cook until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer the fish to a serving platter, and spoon some sauce over each fillet.
- Top with minced parsley and serve immediately.
