Fish Medley with Linguine

Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients:

12 ounces linguine pasta
1 pound mixed fish – Nature’s Best Seafood Cod, Tilapia, and Salmon, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup white wine (optional)
1 cup seafood or fish broth
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and black pepper to taste
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Directions:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water.
Season the mixed fish fillets with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the seasoned fish fillets to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
If using white wine, pour it into the skillet and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the wine to reduce slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the seafood or fish broth, red pepper flakes, and dried oregano. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Add the cooked linguine and reserved pasta cooking water to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to coat the linguine in the sauce. Gently fold in the cooked fish pieces, being careful not to break them apart too much. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Divide the fish medley linguine among serving plates or bowls. Serve hot, optionally garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and additional fresh parsley.
