Ingredients
1-1 1/4 pounds Pacific cod (see Note) or tilapia fillets, cut into 4 pieces
3 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, divided

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation
Season fish with 1 teaspoon thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, garlic and 1 teaspoon thyme; cook, stirring, until beginning to soften, about 1 minute. Add wine, tomatoes and the fish to the pan; bring to a simmer.
