After all the excess of Easter weekend why not go for a slightly lighter dinner idea that is not only very easy but also very tasty! Swap the cod for Hake or Haddock if you prefer or even Turbot if it is for a special occasion.
BAKED COD IN A TOMATO CAPER SAUCE
1 can of chopped tomatoes
4 tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1 red pepper, finely sliced
4 cod fillets Seasonal ingredient
2 tbsp capers
1 lemon, zested
- To make the sauce, put the tomatoes, onions and garlic in a large pan. Add 100ml water and the olive oil. Season well. Cook over a gentle heat for about 20 minutes, until the tomatoes have softened and the liquid has reduced.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to gas 6, 180°C, fan 160°C. Transfer the sauce to a deep roasting dish and scatter over the peppers. Lay the fish on the sauce, and then scatter over the lemon zest and capers. Bake for 12 minutes, until cooked through. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon and some crusty bread.
