Poached cod in tomato sauce is a delicious and foolproof weeknight meal. If you can't find cod, halibut works as a great alternative.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet with high sides over medium-hight heat. Add in garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes. Add in the diced tomatoes and season with 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (optional), and a generous sprinkle of salt.
Reduce heat to medium, cover and let simmer for about 5 minutes. The tomatoes will burst open and start to release their juices.
Stir in chicken broth and let simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper. Gently place fish into tomato sauce. Cover and cook until the fish is opaque and cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes. Please note: the thicker the fish, the longer it will take to cook through.
To serve, divide fish among 4 bowls and spoon tomato sauce evenly over top. Drizzle each bowl with extra virgin olive oil and top with fresh basil. You could also serve this dish atop mashed cauliflower or 1/4 cup of white rice, if you like.
