Baked Cod Recipe
Cod Portuguese

Here is a baked cod recipe that is quite authentically Portuguese. Any white fish of your choice will do for this recipe.

I like it with monkfish - this recipe will serve 4. If you want to make it for more people, increase the ingredients proportionally, but it's best if you can get an oven proof dish so that the fish steaks or fillets fit in one layer.

It's very quick to prepare and cook - the sort of meal that you could just throw together when you get in from work - serve it with crusty bread and butter to mop up the sauce.

Baked Cod Portuguese
2 tbspns olive oil
1 onion, peeled and chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped
1 green pepper, cored and chopped
1 14 oz (400g) can tomatoes - chopped
2 tspns paprika
4 cod steaks or fillets
chopped fresh parsley to garnish

Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 5, 375F or 190C and grease an ovenproof dish.

Fry the onion, garlic and pepper in a pan to soften. Add the tomatoes and paprika and simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce is thickened. Taste and add salt and pepper if required.

Put your cod in the dish, pour your tomato sauce over and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until the cod is cooked.

Sprinkle the parsley over and serve - a delicious, simple recipe for you to enjoy.
