White Fish with White Wine

Ingredients
  • 4 fillets of cod or other firm white fish, about 6 ounces each (used haddock)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion
  • 1 tomato
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 lemon squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano , or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • salt and pepper
  • Garlic powder to taste

  • Chop garlic finely. In a skillet large enough to hold fillets in a single layer, heat butter and olive oil. Cook garlic on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until it starts turning brown.
  • Chop onion and tomato finely. Add onion, tomato and oregano. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove any skin from the fish and cut into serving size pieces.
  • Place the fillets on top of the vegetables; salt and pepper everything lightly. Add the wine and lemon juice, cover, and simmer until the fish is opaque and flakes easily, 5 - 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. (Test with a fork after 5 minutes.)
  • When the fish is done, remove it to keep warm, and then raise heat to high and boil until the sauce is reduced to desired thickness, about 5 minutes.  
  • Taste test sauce. Add garlic powder if needed. 
  • Spoon sauce over fish and serve immediately.
