Directions

To make the sauce: Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, do not let them brown. Add the Quick Tomato Sauce, olives, and capers. Mix well, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and lemon zest. Cook for 1 minute more. Set aside and keep warm.
Heat the broiler. Lay the cod fillets on a baking sheet lined with foil. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook under the broiler for about 8 minutes or until opaque in the center. Top with puttanesca sauce and serve. Pairs well with wilted spinach and Basic Polenta.
