Poached Cod With Raw Papaya Relish

4 fillets of cod (about 4-5 ounces each)

¼ cup white wine

3 cups water

1 teaspoon dried thyme

¼ teaspoon salt

For the relish

1¼ cups papaya, cut into small cubes

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons lime juice

½ cup chopped tomatoes

2 green onions, chopped

2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley or cilantro, chopped

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

¼ teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

Bring wine, thyme, water and salt to a bare simmer (it should look like bubbly club soda). Place the cod in the water and keep at a bare simmer and allow to cook until fish is cooked through, about 4 minutes for an average piece of fish. Remove the fish, and keep on a warm plate.

While the fish is cooking, stir together the relish ingredients in a small bowl. Spoon the relish on top of each piece of cooked fish, allowing the heat of the fish to bring out the relish flavors.
