Baked King Fish/ Cod in Tomato sauce image

This is a wonderful Madhur Jaffrey recipe for fish. King Fish is my favourite fish and I get the freshest fish right at my door (at 9.00 a.m.)from my fish vendor named Jai Singh. It is almost as fresh as just out of the sea. Hmmm... one of the pluses of living near the sea. We have fish almost 4 days a week and I love variety so have a host of recipes that I have tried and used over and over again for 8 years now. This is definitely the top of the list.

This was a waste of time. The sauce was watery and the cod was overcooked.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. I think there are easier ways to make cod in tomato sauce.

This was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

I tried this recipe and it was really good. The only thing I would change is to add more vegetables to the sauce.

This is one of my favorite fish recipes. The sauce is amazing and the cod always comes out moist and flaky. I highly recommend this recipe.
