Cod Baked in Tomato SauceThis is a flavorful way to wake up cod.

Most of the work is preparing a basic fresh tomato sauce, so you could save time by using sauce from a jar if you are in a hurry, or just doctor a jarred sauce with some white wine and fresh parsley. I prefer the texture of the diced tomatoes to a smooth sauce; maybe you can find a sauce like that.

Yield
2 Servings
Preparation time
45 minutes
Ingredients
1⁄4 c Olive oil
1 Onion (chopped)
1 Celery rib (chopped)
1 Garlic (crushed)
2 Parsley sprig (chopped)
14 oz diced tomatoes (1 can)
1⁄2 oz Dry White Wine
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the oil, then cook the garlic, onion, and celery until they are soft.
  3. Add the parsley, tomatoes, and wine and cook over moderate-high heat to reduce the liquid.
  4. Oil the bottom of an oven-safe serving dish and put the fish in, whole or cut as you prefer. Add salt and pepper if you like. Surround it with the sauce and cover with a lid or with foil.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes or until the fish is done.
  6. Serve hot.
