INGREDIENTS

  • 1/3 cup pine nuts OR slivered almonds, toasted
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups chopped onions
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large pinch saffron OR 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 can (28 oz.) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 2 cans (14.5 oz. each) fat-free chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup dry white wine (OR additional 1 cup chicken broth)
  • 1-1/2 lbs. Wild Alaska Cod fillets, fresh, thawed or frozen
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley OR 2 Tablespoons dried parsley
  • 4 slices Italian bread, cut into bite-size pieces and toasted, OR 1-1/2 cups croutons

DIRECTIONS

  1. In food processor or blender, grind nuts and garlic to a paste.
  2. In a large (12-inch) nonstick pan or stockpot, cook onions in olive oil over medium heat 3 to 5 minutes, until lightly golden. Add garlic paste, saffron, tomatoes, chicken broth, and wine. Bring to a simmer; cook 10 minutes. Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Wild Alaska Cod under cold water. Turn off heat and gently add seafood to liquid, skin side down. Return heat to a simmer.
  3. Once simmering, cover pan and cook 4 to 5 minutes for frozen Wild Alaska Cod or 2 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Turn off heat and let seafood rest 5 minutes or until seafood is opaque throughout. Break Wild Alaska Cod into large chunks. Stir in parsley and bread and cook 3 minutes. Serve hot.
