Classic Italian. Simple ingredients superbly cooked.

[@csmats5374]

Fantastically simple! Funny how the skin is the key to the sauce, something most people want removed from their filets.

[@barbaracholak5204]

Morning ATK I like it ♡ Salutations from California 😋

[@damianrhea8875]

OMG... Other than crusty bread, boiled potatoes, or steamed grains, such as rice, quinoa, buckwheat groat, barley, etc., can soak up all the delicious juice to complete a full meal. Plus, the collagen in the fish skin is so good and important for the bones, joins, tendons, hair, skin, etc. of our health! Thank you, ATK!

[@wandarosado4495]

Made this morning with cod filets...super simple and clean... but...OMGosh the flavors!...it was sooo good....Thank you sooo much for this recipe....I added capers..a pinch of basil and oregano and a squeeze of lemon juice and followed to the T.....paired it up with Brown rice..and broccoli....the best fish I made thus far...saith my mami! Thank you again

[@StompMom5]

THANK YOU!!! Our stores have been out of salmon for months so I bought some of this fish wondering what to do with it 😅. Perfect timing and what a wonderful looking recipe 👌😋🤤

[@chrisandersen5635]

Becky, you knocked it out of the park. I must make this. Thank you!

[@terrizezza3554]

I cannot wait to make this for my husband and I. This looks so delicious. Thank you. You are all great!

[@philippapay4352]

This looks good for hot weather, but also for supper in homes where one eats breakfast-dinner-supper, and needs light fare.

[@mbrez4271]

Becky's videos are just excellent.

[@wotan10950]

Becky makes everything look fun and easy! But some of the recipes are more difficult than they appear.

[@Andrea-bw8xm]

Going to try this with fresh whiting!

[@elizabethheard7148]

I make this often. I add a pinch of saffron with the garlic and pepper flakes.

[@donquinn1343]

Hello

[@billy4072]

Good idea with the parsley stems . Tbf.

[@tompagano9015]

I like the suggestion of using fresh grape tomatoes during winter. Interesting is the use of parsley stems which seems a standard recommendation on recipe sites from Italy( personally, I have doubts it is effective). I have seen other recipes with fish broth( home made and canned), and recipes that cook broth before adding fish. I like the use of wine. I think it is overkill with the thermometer , but that is American Test Kitchen being chemistry nerds! Nonna never had an instant thermometer . Julia should cut back on the bread, it looks like, but I still like her hair. Oh, again there is that pay wall of American Test Kitchen. I am sometimes tempted to subscribe but Google still has stories of difficulty cancelling.

0:21 didn't know Boston Harbor had a similar reputation to NYC's East River

[@michaelboso9355]

Onyo always number first.

[@mddell58]

Wondering if COD would work? 👍

[@annetortorella5634]

Me too

[@stooge81]

A dish even I can't screw up? *challenge accepted*

[@judettejamila9419]

ITALIAN TINOLA

[@okiejammer2736]

Mm. Mm. Delish!

[@anionleader]

I wonder, can we use red snapper for this with tomato? Especially if freshly fished yourself? (Thank you Animal Crossing)

[@TheWibbo]

if this was originally be cooked with sea water wouldn't it be insanely salty?

[@marilynsnider8183]

How about cod? Can you use it?

[@okiejammer2736]

"Any firm white-fleshed fish will do."

[@sandrah7512]

They also recommend that the fish be skin-on as the collagen in the skin adds body and flavour to the sauce.

[@marilynsnider8183]

@@sandrah7512 thanks

[@wandarosado4495]

Absolutely...ahhh and it's so good. The cod absorbs all that goodness from the broth...trust me...it's delish. .

[@user-eu4gu2wi2e]

Fish should be crispy first.

[@ReadTheShrill]

I know I'm being ridiculous here, but I can't stop looking at the crud around the rivets in that pan. 🤢

[@davewatkins4735]

Thought this was going to be a lovely dish. Then they Started talking American, totally fucked it up for EVERYONE
