In a large non-stick pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Allow fillets to brown on one side for 4 minutes, then remove and allow to rest on a plate.<\/p>\n<p>Reduce to medium heat and add 3 more tablespoons of olive oil.\u00a0 Toss in onions and season with salt. Stir often until onions are soft, then add the garlic, chorizo, and smoked paprika. Stir and cook for 3 minutes. Add the peppers, season with salt and cook for 10 minutes, stirring often. Add the water to the pan and stir.<\/p>\n<p>Place cod back in the pan, cooked side up, on top of the peppers and onions, along with any juices that collected on the plate and increase heat to medium-high. Slightly shake the pan to nestle fillets into the mixture. Cook 4 minutes longer until fish is done, and the water reduces, spooning the broth over the fillets periodically. Season with salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simmered cod in an easy stew of saut\u00e9ed rainbow peppers, onions, and Spanish chorizo is exactly what you need for a light winter weeknight meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":69275,"featured_media":52780,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2736,1621,1601,3246,2732],"tags":[3167,2898,591,2967,3166],"class_list":["post-52779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dinner-recipes-2","category-easy-diy","category-easy-entertaining","category-healthy-habits","category-recipes","tag-brittney-bullock","tag-cod","tag-fish","tag-low-carb","tag-spanish"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/69275"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52779"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52779\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":73016,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52779\/revisions\/73016"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
