Fish in a flash: two succulent recipes

All recipes in this post developed by Kate Sherwood, The Healthy Cook.

Ripe, juicy tomatoes and fresh fish-could it get any better? Don’t have heirlooms? Use cherry or campari tomatoes.

Tomato Coconut Cod Stew

Time: 30 minutes

2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil

1 small white onion, diced

1 serrano pepper, seeded and minced (optional)

2 cups chopped heirloom tomatoes

1 cup canned light unsweetened coconut milk

1 lb. cod fillets, cut into chunks

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1 lime, cut into wedges

1. In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until shimmering hot. Saut the onion until soft, 2-3 minutes.
2. Stir in the serrano pepper, tomatoes, and coconut milk. Simmer until the tomatoes start to break down, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the fish and reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently until the fish is cooked through, 3-5 minutes. Stir in the salt.
4. Serve with lime wedges.

Tomato-Roasted Tilapia

Time: 20 minutes

1 lb. tilapia fillets

2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil

2 Tbs. mayonnaise

1/2 tsp. paprika

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

2 large heirloom tomatoes, halved and thinly sliced

1 sprig thyme

1. Preheat the oven to 450F.
2. Place the fish on a lined, rimmed baking sheet.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, mayonnaise, paprika, and salt. Spoon over the fish.
4. Arrange the tomato slices on top of and around the fish. Top with the thyme sprig.
5. Change the oven to broil. Broil the fish about 4 inches from the heat until the thickest part flakes easily with a fork, 7-10 minutes.
