Cod with Capers

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, quartered and thinly sliced
2 cups thinly sliced mushrooms
1 - 14 ounce can diced tomatoes
¼ cup dry vermouth
1½ tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
½ teaspoon oregano leaves
1 garlic clove, pressed
Salt and pepper to taste
1½ pounds cod (or haddock) fillets
Alt: substitute 1 cup carrots for mushrooms, red wine instead of vermouth.

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and mushrooms and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the undrained tomatoes, vermouth, capers, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Cover and simmer gently 5 minutes.

Arrange the fish on the sauce and spoon a little of the sauce on top. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer gently until the fish is cooked through, about 7-12 minutes.

Tranfer the fish to serving plates and simmer the sauce, uncovered, about 3 minutes or until it is slightly thickened. Spoon the sauce over the fish. Serves 4.
