Tonight I'm making something a little
different for dinner. I'm Tess and come
join me as I make easy baked cod and a
delicious tomato sauce.
(intro music)
Cod is one of my
top three favorite fish dinners because
it is meaty, great flavor and affordable.
I like it in soups, fried, poached and
baked and tonight I'm making baked cod
in a tomato sauce. The sauce is packed
full of flavor and the cod is flaky,
tender and delicious. Just a reminder
that you'll be able to find this recipe,
the list of ingredients and much more in
the show more section below. I've also
included  links where you can purchase
online some of the ingredients and
equipment that I use in this video
recipe. If you have a chance please check it out.
In a pan on medium heat I'm
adding in some oil, diced onions, bell
peppers, lots of minced garlic, salt and
black pepper. Giving that a stir and
cooking for two to three minutes.
Adding in some capers, cooking and
stirring for another minute. In goes a
large can of diced tomatoes and a good
spoonful of basil pesto. Stirring well.
This is really starting to smell good!
Also adding in a couple bay leaves for
some more flavor. Bringing this up to a
simmer and cooking for another five
minutes.
I have my oven preheating to 400 degrees
Fahrenheit. I transferred the sauce into
a baking dish but if you're using
an oven proof pan you can cook this meal
in one pot. I'm adding in some olives and
I happen to have both kalamata and
Spanish olives. I really like the
saltiness and texture that the olives
add to this dish.
Now for the cod. Just placing the cod
fillets on top and seasoning with a
little salt and black pepper. Baking at
400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20
minutes or until the cod is nice
and flaky.
I'm serving the baked cod tonight with
some of this cute lemon pasta bow ties
that I found at Aldi's. The pasta had a
very mild lemon flavor and added a
little pop. It was a nice side dish with
the cod and tomato olive sauce.
You could also serve the cod and tomato
sauce with some rice. The baked cod
turned out nice and flaky and flavorful.
The tomato sauce was rich with flavor
with the garlic and pesto and you can
really taste the saltiness from the
capers and olives. If you're looking for
something a little different for a fish
dinner this is the one and I'm sure
you're going to enjoy.
