Alaskan Cod and Shrimp with Fresh Tomato

Some evenings call for a meal that feels both light and deeply satisfying, and this keto cod and shrimp dinner always hits the spot. I love how the fresh tomatoes burst into a bright, herby sauce that perfectly complements the tender fish and plump shrimp. It comes together in one skillet and under 30 minutes—ideal for busy weeknights.

Alaskan Cod and Shrimp with Fresh Tomato

Ingredients

  • tablespoons olive oil
  • cloves garlic, minced
  • large tomatoes, chopped
  • teaspoon dried oregano
  • pound Alaskan cod
  • /2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • salt to taste
  • tablespoon dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Begin by warming the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the minced garlic and let it sizzle just until it turns golden and fragrant—this takes about a minute. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and start to break down, forming a chunky sauce. Stir in the first teaspoon of dried oregano. Now, nestle the Alaskan cod fillets directly into the tomato mixture, then scatter the shrimp around them. Sprinkle everything with a pinch of salt. Cover the skillet and let it simmer gently for 3 minutes. Then, carefully flip the cod over using a spatula, and season the other side with the remaining tablespoon of oregano and another pinch of salt. Cover again and cook for another 3 minutes. Finally, remove the lid and let the dish bubble uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes, just until the sauce thickens slightly and the fish flakes easily with a fork. I love how the shrimp turn perfectly pink and the cod stays moist. Serve straight from the skillet with a drizzle of the pan juices.

Chef's Tip

I always pat the cod dry and season it lightly before nestling it into the pan—this prevents the sauce from getting watery and helps the oregano stick. A splash of lemon juice right before serving brightens all the flavors.

Storage Tips

Any extra portions keep well in the fridge for up to three days; simply reheat in a covered skillet on low to prevent the fish from drying out. The flavors actually deepen overnight.

Variation Tips

If cod isn't available, any firm white fish like haddock or halibut works beautifully. Serve this over cauliflower rice to soak up the tomato sauce, or pair it with a crisp arugula salad. For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
