Cod and Corn With Old-Bay Butter

Step 1

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 2

Add clam juice and corn, and bring to a boil over high. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook until corn is tender, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine butter, Old Bay, paprika and remaining 1 tablespoon oil; mix well.

Step 4

Season cod with salt and pepper, and add to pot. Cover and cook until cod is flaky and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in scallions and 1 tablespoon of the Old Bay butter; season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Divide everything among four bowls. Garnish with more scallions and season with black pepper. Spread some Old Bay butter over warm crusty bread and serve alongside.
