Pan Seared Puttanesca Cod

Simple, bold, and deeply Mediterranean. This dish lets the fish shine while the rich, briny flavor of Savory Spoon Foods Puttanesca Sauce brings everything together in minutes.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)

• Salt & black pepper

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 jar Savory Spoon Foods Puttanesca Sauce

• 4 thick slices sourdough or rustic baguette

• 1 garlic clove, halved

• Fresh parsley or basil

• Lemon wedges

Instructions

1. Warm the sauce
   Pour the Savory Spoon Foods Puttanesca Sauce into a skillet or saucepan over medium-low heat. Let simmer gently for 5–7 minutes until warmed through.

2. Sear the cod
   Pat the cod dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the cod for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and just flaky in the center.

3. Toast the bread
   Brush bread lightly with olive oil and toast until crisp and golden. Rub with the cut side of the garlic clove while still warm.

To Serve

Spoon the warm puttanesca sauce into shallow bowls or plates. Top with the cod and serve with the toasted bread tucked alongside for soaking up the sauce.

Finish with:

• Fresh parsley or basil

• Cracked black pepper

• A squeeze of lemon

• A drizzle of olive oil

Perfect with a crisp green salad or a glass of chilled white wine.
