COD IN SWEET AND SOUR PEPPER SAUCE
Vinegary sauce in which fish is marinated after cooking is sometimes referred to as escabeche. This one is inspired by a recipe in Yotam Ottolenghi's cookbook "Jerusalem." It is at once a sauce and vegetable side dish. Instead of frying the fish like Ottolenghi does, I oven-steam it, then bury it in the sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and oil the foil. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper and lay on the foil. Leave at room temperature while you make the sauce.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or casserole over medium heat and add the onion and coriander seeds. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes, and add the bell peppers and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until the peppers and onions are soft, another 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and curry powder, if using, and stir together for a minute, until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and bay leaves and cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes cook down slightly, about 8 minutes. Stir in the honey and vinegar, salt to taste and black pepper, and simmer 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place a pan of just boiled water on the floor of your oven and place the baking sheet with the fish in the oven on the middle rack. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until the fish is opaque on the surface but still slightly firm in the middle. Remove from the oven and place in the sauce. Spoon sauce over the top so that the fish is surrounded by it. Simmer for 5 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and can be pulled apart with a fork. Remove from the heat and serve, or even better, chill overnight, then gently reheat the next day.

COD IN SWEET AND SOUR PEPPER SAUCE
This is even better if you make it a day ahead. The sauce, without the fish, will keep for 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator. Recipe by Martha Rose Shulman in the NYTimes (Dec. 2, 2013), inspired by Ottolenghi's "Jerusalem" cookbook. The original calls for frying the fish, this one oven-steams it, but the escabeche-like sauce makes both versions delicious! You can substitute sugar for the honey, if you prefer.

Tips:
- Use fresh cod fillets: Fresh cod fillets will give you the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh cod, you can use frozen cod fillets that have been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
- Don't overcook the cod: Cod is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and dry. Cook the cod fillets for just 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for bell peppers, carrots, and onions, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include broccoli, snap peas, and baby corn.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the cod and vegetables. If it's too thin, add a little cornstarch or flour to thicken it up.
- Serve the cod immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The sauce will start to thicken as it cools, so it's important to serve it while it's still hot.
Conclusion:
This cod in sweet and sour pepper sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cod is cooked in a flavorful sauce that is made with bell peppers, carrots, onions, and pineapple. The dish is served over rice and is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
