    1/2 teaspoon olive oil
    Spices

    2 garlic cloves, minced
    5 large nectarines, diced
    1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
    2 tablespoons minced cilantro, parsley or 2 tablespoons mint
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
    Rub cod with oil.
    Place cod in a oven proof dish in one layer.
    Mix the spices and dust the cod.
    Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cod flakes easily when tested with a fork.
    Or until until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
    Meanwhile prepare nectarine.
    Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat saute onions, peppers and garlic for 5 minutes.
    Add the nectarines and saute them until they their juices reduce and begin to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the sugar over them and saute until the juices further thicken and the sugar caramelizes slightly, about 1 minute.
    Add the balsamic vinegar and saute until the juices thicken. Toss in fresh herbs of choice.
    Plate fish and top with caramelized nectarines.
