Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 ounces unsalted butter
2 lbs cod fish fillets, skin on, cut into 4 pieces
1 large onion, cut into quarters and sliced finely
4 plum tomatoes, skinned, seeded and chopped
4 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and finely chopped
1 1/4 cups fish stock
1/2 cup white wine
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper
parsley, to garnish

Steps:

Melt half the butter in a shallow flameproof casserole dish that is big enough to hold all the pieces of cod in a single layer.
Fry the cod, skin-side down, for 1 minute, until crisp and golden. Carefully remove from the dish and set aside.
Add the onion to the dish and fry gently for 5 minutes, until softened.
Add the plum tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, stock and white wine. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes, until slightly reduced and thickened.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the cod skin-side up on top of the onion and tomato mixture, transfer the casserole dish to the oven and bake for 5-6 minutes - less if the pieces of cod are thin.
Remove from the oven and lift the cod out on to a warm plate. Return the dish to the stove over a high heat, add the remaining butter and reduce by boiling rapidly for about 4 minutes, stirring now and then, to make a really thick sauce.
Stir in the parsley, season with salt and pepper and cook for 30 seconds more.
Spoon the sauce on to four warm plates, put the cod on top and garnish with parsley sprigs and serve.

Tips:

Choose the right cod. Look for cod that is firm and white, with no brown spots. Avoid cod that is slimy or has a strong fishy smell.
Soak the cod before cooking. Soaking the cod in cold water for at least 30 minutes will help to remove the salt and make the fish more tender.
Use a flavorful marinade. Marinating the cod in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs will add flavor and moisture to the fish.
Cook the cod until it is just cooked through. Cod is a delicate fish, so it is important to avoid overcooking it. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the cod with a variety of sides. Cod is a versatile fish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Baked cod Portuguese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cod is tender and flaky, and the flavorful marinade adds a delicious depth of flavor. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, making it a versatile and customizable meal.
