you know most of us during the week

and a lot of us get into a routine
of eating all the same foods all the time

bringing some amazing flavors to your dinner table

now the saffron I´m gonna be using in today´s recipe
was sent to me by Golden saffron
as always their saffron threads
have such an incredible aroma and flavor to it
some of the best saffron I´ve ever tasted

alright let´s get cooking
cut a small onion in half
remove 2 of the outer layers for a better onion texture
finely dice the onion
reserve 2 tbsp of the diced onions
grab 1 clove of garlic
finely mince it
cut a 1/4 of a red bell pepper
cut the piece in half
and into thin strips
then roughly dice
reserve 2 tbsp of the diced bell peppers
grab a handful of scallions
and roughly chop
reserve 2 tbsp of the chopped scallions
grab a 14 oz (400 G) cod fillet
I bought it frozen and thawed it out
pat it dry with some paper towels
cut it into 3 or 4 evenly sized pieces
season with sea salt
and freshly cracked black pepper
reserve 1/2 a cup of white wine
heat a nonstick frying pan with a medium-high heat
and add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 minute later add the 2 tbsp of diced onions
and the 2 tbsp of diced bell peppers
and mix with the oil
after cooking for 3 minutes
add the minced garlic
and 2 tbsp of chopped scallions
and mix with the onions and bell peppers
30 seconds later add 1/2 tsp of golden saffron threads
season with sea salt
and freshly cracked black pepper
and mix together
then add the 1/2 cup of white wine
and gently mix it all together
once the wine comes to a boil
add the cod fillets skin side up
place a lid on the pan
and lower the fire to a low-medium heat
after 4 minutes remove the lid
and flip the cod fillets
place the lid back on the pan
after another 4 minutes take off the lid
remove the pan from the heat
add a cod fillet into a shallow bowl
top off with a couple tablespoons of the sauce
and garnish with some fresh chives
ok guys our dish is done

I´m gonna cut it open that was you guys can see
