This bright n’ tangy dish livens up dinner

In Jamaica, escovitch describes the process of cooking fish by frying and then marinating in a tangy, vinegary sauce. Drawing inspiration from those flavors, we cooked onions and peppers in vinegar to serve with baked cod.

Directions

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Place cod on a rimmed baking sheet lined with nonstick foil, sprinkle with jerk seasoning and ½ teaspoon salt and roast until opaque throughout, 12 to 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil and garlic in a large skillet on medium until beginning to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Add peppers, onion, carrot, chile, allspice and ¼ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Add vinegar and cook until it has evaporated and vegetables are tender, 4 to 5 minutes more.
3. Transfer fish and peppers to platter and squeeze lime over top, then sprinkle with cilantro.
