Start to finish: 15 minutes
Servings: 4
4 fillets of cod (about 4-5 ounces each)
1/4 cup white wine
3 cups water
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
Relish:
11/4 cups papaya, cut into small cubes
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
2 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons flat-leafed parsley or cilantro, chopped
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Bring wine, thyme, water and salt to a bare simmer (it should look like bubbly club soda). Place the cod in the water and keep at a bare simmer and allow to cook until fish is cooked through, about 4 minutes for an average piece of fish. Remove the fish, and keep on a warm plate.
While the fish is cooking, stir together the relish ingredients in a small bowl. Spoon the relish on top of each piece of cooked fish, allowing the heat of the fish to bring out the relish flavors.
