I often refrain from cooking fish as it can be hard find interesting-yet-easy ways to cook it well - and it has a tendency to stink the house up a bit! However, it is a really quick, healthy and tasty meal to cook when you want something appetising yet low fat without having to put in too much effort. So, I have come up with this baked Mediterranean cod dish that can literally be thrown together. Oh yeah, and it doesn’t cause guests to say, ‘so you had fish last night?’ either!
INGREDIENTS
Serves two
- Two skinless, boneless cod fillets.
- 1 can of chopped tomatoes.
- 1 clove of garlic crushed.
- 1 small onion sliced.
- 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil
- 1 bay leave (dried or fresh)
- 1 small bag of baby spinach.
- salt/pepper
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to gas mark five/200 degrees.
- In a metal roasting tin, heat the olive oil on the hob. Add the Onion, garlic and bay leaf and fry for a minute or so until slightly golden.
- Place Cod fillets in tray on top of onions and remove from the heat. Pour over the tomatoes and place in the oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked.
- Remove fish from the tin onto a plate and put the tin back on the hob. Stir through the spinach until it is wilted.
- Pour sauce over the fish, and serve with rice or boiled new potatoes.
