Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
