Cod stewed with vegetables in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to stew cod with vegetables in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can use cod whole, with skin, or take already peeled fillets without skin and bones, fresh or frozen. Frozen fillets in portioned briquettes are also suitable. Therefore, choose according to your taste. You can not add white wine at all, in this case, replace it with ordinary water or water mixed with 1 tsp of tomato paste (ketchup).

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the fish, dry it. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. If you use frozen fish, then it needs to be thawed beforehand and slightly squeezed out of excess moisture, otherwise the fish will not be fried in oil, but stewed.

3. Step 3:

   

   If the pieces are very large, it is better to cut them into portions immediately. I initially wanted to cook the fish larger, but the large pieces did not fit well in the pan, so I cut them in half again.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel the onion and cut into strips or cubes.

5. Step 5:

   

   Peel the garlic and finely chop it with a knife.

6. Step 6:

   

   Wash the parsley, dry it and chop it finely.

7. Step 7:

   

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan with a thick bottom. Put the onion and garlic, fry, stirring, for 2 minutes until a bright aroma appears.

9. Step 8:

   

   Transfer the onion and garlic to a plate, leaving the flavored oil in the pan. You can not pre-fry the onion with garlic, but first fry the fish in oil, and then add the onion and garlic, thus reducing the cooking process by five minutes. But if you are not in a hurry, it is better to flavor the oil first, and then fry the fish in it. It will turn out more fragrant.

    Lay out the fish fillets and fry until golden brown for about 5 minutes. Turn the fillets to the other side and fry for another 3 minutes.

11. Step 10:

    

    Return the onion and garlic to the pan.

12. Step 11:

    Pour wine, lemon juice into the pan, add olives and olives. And simmer all together over low heat for about 10 minutes until the fish is ready.
