How to make Poached Cod with Tomato and Saffron

Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and Aleppo pepper and cook, stirring often, until fragrant (garlic should not take on any colour), about 3 minutes.

Add tomatoes, crushing with your hands as you add them, wine, bay leaves, saffron, and 120ml water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until flavours meld, 5–7 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

Reduce heat to medium-low; season cod with salt and pepper and place in skillet. Cover and cook at a bare simmer until cod is opaque throughout and beginning to flake, 5–7 minutes (thicker pieces will take longer to cook).

Gently transfer cod to shallow bowls and spoon poaching liquid over.
