Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
4 cup low-sodium chicken, fish, or vegetable broth
2 - 3 cup extra virgin olive oil (enough to cover fish fillets)
4 alaska black cod fillets, (approximately 4-ounces each), fresh or thawed
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

In a stockpot, sauté onion, red pepper and celery in 1 tablespoon olive oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and continue cooking 5 minutes. Stir in wine and thyme. Add broth and cook 5 to 10 minutes, just until broth begins to reduce. Turn off heat, cover and keep warm.
While vegetables are cooking, in a shallow high-sided, heavy pan or stockpot, heat 2-1/2 cups extra virgin olive oil over low heat until oil appears wavy. Season Alaska Black Cod fillets with salt and pepper. Add fillets to oil, making sure the fillets are covered, adding additional oil, if needed. Turn up heat to medium; poach 10 to 12 minutes, cooking just until fillets are fully opaque throughout.
To serve, remove fillets with slotted spoon and place each fillet in a shallow soup or pasta bowl. Divide herbed broth over fillets; garnish with fresh herbs.
