Cook Time: 10 Min

* 1/4 c. dried tart cherries
* 1/4 c. golden raisins
* 1/4 c. finely chopped sweet onion
* 1/4 c. white balsamic vinegar
* 2 Tbsp. toasted pine nuts
* 4 Alaska Cod fillets (4 to 6-oz. ea.), fresh, thawed or frozen
* salt and pepper, to taste

1. Combine dried fruit, onion, and balsamic vinegar in a small microwaveable bowl. Cover and microwave on medium setting for 1 min. Remove from microwave and stir in pine nuts; let sit, covered, while fish is cooking.
2. Fill a 12-in. skillet with water to a depth of 1-inch and bring to a boil. Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Cod under cold water; place fillets in steamer basket. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Turn off heat. Place steamer basket into skillet; return liquid to a boil. Cover loosely and cook 5 to 7 min. for frozen cod or 4 to 5 min. for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout. Remove fillets to serving plates; top with fruit.

Cook's Tip: This recipe works with any dried fruit - use your favorite! Delicious with either a spinach salad or couscous!
