1 | slice bacon (diced) |
3 tsp | olive oil |
1 small | shallot (minced) |
2 medium | tomatoes (peeled and seeded) |
1 cup | water |
1/4 tsp | salt |
fresh ground black pepper (to taste) | |
1 tsp | fresh rosemary |
4 4 ounce | cod filets |
Place the bacon in a small sauce pan over medium-high heat. Let the bacon cook slowly, adjusting the heat so that the bacon doesn't become crispy. After it is cooked through, remove to a paper towel.
Add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil to the pan and then the shallots. Cook, stirring continuously, until the shallots are translucent.
Slice the bacon into a small dice. Add the bacon to the pan with the tomatoes, water, salt, pepper and rosemary. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about an hour. Remove from the heat and cool. Using a stick blender or a blender, puree until smooth. Return to the pan to keep warm.
Place the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, place the fish filets in the pan. Cook for about 6 - 7 minutes and turn. Cook for another 5 - 7 minutes and serve with the sauce.
