    This delicious skillet cod recipe is ready in 20 minutes and is packed with juicy tomatoes, onions, peppers, and mushrooms! It's a fast and easy dinner solution.

    Sometimes during the week I just want to make dinner in less than 20 minutes. I love cooking but when it’s been a long day the goal is to put a delicious dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes. I used cod for this recipe only because I wanted a flaky white fish. You may certainly splurge and use Chilean sea bass my personal favorite.

    I dislike tilapia but if you enjoy it you may certainly use it as well. This dish is full of flavor, veggies, juicy tomatoes, and flaky fish yum! I suggest serving this with white rice and maybe some white wine 🙂

    Chopped onions, garlic, and red and green peppers are the vegetables we need for our easy skillet cod dinner.

    So here are the veggies you’ll need minus the mushrooms (sorry mushrooms)

    Saute the vegetables together in a skillet with some oil. Vegetables include mushrooms, onions, and red and green peppers.

    There they are! I sauteed the onions, peppers, mushrooms, and garlic for a couple minutes to get them nice and caramelized.

    Add a juicy tomato sauce to your caramelized vegetables to bring this dish together.

    I used diced tomatoes because they cook so well and they’re so juicy.

    For this skillet cod dinner, you want to season your fish before cooking. Use a blend of spices you love, like chili powder for a little spice.

    I seasoned the fish with salt, pepper, chili powder, oregano, and a little olive oil.

    Cook the seasoned cod fish with your tomato sauce and vegetables for 12-15 minutes until fully cooked.

    Cook the fish for 12-15 minutes and voila

    Delicious skillet cod dinner served in a bowl with tender red and green peppers, onions, and a herb garnish.

    Serve the skillet cooked cod in a bowl with all your veggies or over a bed of white or brown rice. Learn more at cookedbyjulie.com
