I was running late one evening and didn’t have time to make what I had originally planned for dinner, so I shifted plans and improvised a quick fish meal. It was so simple and such a hit that I knew it had to become a Scramble recipe as well!
2 - 3scallionswhite and light green parts, chopped
1/2tsp. kosher salt, sea salt, or other coarse salt
1/4tsp. black pepper
1 1/2lbs. cod or other white fish fillets,in one large piece or cut into 4 pieces
3 - 4plum tomatoes (also called Roma tomatoes),diced
2tsp. capers or chopped olivesoptional
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, but not smoking. Turn the heat to medium and add the scallions and sauté for 1 – 2 minutes, until starting to soften.
Meanwhile, sprinkle the salt and pepper over the cod.
Add the tomatoes to the skillet along with the capers or olives, if desired, and stir well.
Then add the cod and nestle it down into the scallion and tomato mixture.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let cook for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
Notes
Do Ahead or Delegate: Chop the scallions and tomatoes, cut the fish into 4 pieces if desired and refrigerate.Scramble Flavor Booster: Add 1 clove of minced garlic to the skillet and/or top the fish with chopped fresh Italian parsley before serving.Tip: Don’t forget the fish! Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh found that individuals who ate fish at least once a week had a lower risk of mild cognitive impairment, which has been associated with the development of Alzheimer’s later on in life.Nutritional Information Per Serving (% based upon daily values): Calories 206, Total Fat: 6g, 10%; Saturated Fat: 1g, 7%; Cholesterol: 85mg, 28%; Sodium: 355mg, 15%; Total Carbohydrate: 3g, 1%; Dietary Fiber: 1g, 4%; Sugar: 1g; Protein: 35gLike this recipe?
