Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium bowl, gently combine the chopped tomatoes, basil, olive oil, Pinot Gris, minced red onion, minced garlic, salt, and a generous pinch of black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)

02

Step

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard and melted butter until well combined. Set aside. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Place the black cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if the skin is on. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Carefully flip the black cod fillets. Brush the mustard-butter mixture evenly over the surface of each fillet, ensuring complete coverage. Continue baking until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, approximately 5 to 6 minutes more. (5-6 minutes)

06

Step

Divide the fresh arugula evenly among serving plates. Top each bed of arugula with a piece of the baked black cod. Spoon the tomato topping generously over the fish, and sprinkle with freshly shredded Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

For an even richer flavor, consider using aged Parmesan Reggiano.
If Pinot Gris isn't available, a dry Sauvignon Blanc or Vermentino would also work well.
Be careful not to overcook the black cod, as it can become dry. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the finished dish adds a bright, zesty note.
