Instructions
Dry off the fish with a paper towel and lightly season all sides with salt.
Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
When hot, add the fish and cook for about 2 minutes until browning.
Gently flip with a spatula and cook the second side, approximately 2 minutes more. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the olive oil to the skillet.
When hot, add the diced onion. Cook until lightly starting to brown, approximately 5 minutes.
Add the oregano, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, approximately 30 seconds.
Add the tomatoes, heavy cream, salt, and asparagus. Stir to combine.
Nestle the fish back into the sauce and let it simmer for approximately 3-5 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flaky. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
For an even fast meal, you can skip searing the cod and simply place the raw fish in the tomato sauce to simmer until cooked through and flaky.
