COD WITH SWEET PEPPERS
This quick and delicious recipe is a long-time family favorite. I like to use three or four different-colored peppers for an extra-pretty presentation. Then serve with couscous or brown rice to round out the meal. -Judy Grebetz, Racine, Wisconsin.

SHEET-PAN ROASTED FISH WITH SWEET PEPPERS
Quick to make and very pretty to behold, this easy weeknight dish has more verve than most. The roasted bell peppers turn sweet and golden, while olives add a salty note that goes nicely with the mild, flaky fish and a garlicky parsley dressing. If you can't find hake, cod or flounder make fine substitutes, though you may have to adjust the roasting time. The thicker the fillets, the longer they will take to cook.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Pull 1 tablespoon thyme leaves off the bunch and finely chop.
- Season fish all over with a large pinch or two of salt and pepper and rub with chopped thyme leaves. Let rest at room temperature while you prepare peppers.
- Spread peppers on a rimmed sheet pan, and toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the black pepper to taste. Top peppers with the remaining thyme sprigs. Roast, tossing occasionally, until peppers are softened and golden at the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Increase oven temperature to 500 degrees. Push peppers to the edges of the pan, clearing a space in the center. Lay fish out on that empty space and drizzle with oil. Scatter olives over the top of fish and peppers. Roast until fish turns opaque and is just cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make a vinaigrette by combining vinegar, garlic and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, then whisk in parsley. Taste and add more salt or vinegar, or both, if needed. Serve fish and peppers drizzled with vinaigrette.

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.

FRIED COD WITH GREEN PEPPERS
Translated from Karlos Arguiñano's "Atrévete a cocinar". I've never found green peppers like the fine ones in Spain. They look much like poblanos but they're not spicy in the least, and they don't taste as strong. Red bell peppers might make a good substitute. Spring onions in Spain are about the size of a small regular onion in the US. I would use maybe 4-6 green onions if I'm in the US. The author doesn't recommend measuring equipment, so a tbsp means a soup-spoonful.

Steps:
- Peel green onion and julienne. Clean peppers, remove stems and seeds and cut into strips.
- Without peeling them, crush garlic cloves with broad side of chef's knife.
- Heat oil in large frying pan, add garlic cloves (still unpeeled) and fry until they start to turn golden. Transfer garlic to plate, peel and reserve.
- Add cod to pan and fry 3 minutes each side. If the skin is still on, it's very important not to fry the skin side first. Fry the side with no skin first. After frying remove from pan, place on plate.
- Add green onion and pepper to pan, add salt to taste and cook 12 minutes on med-low heat.
- Return fish to pan with any liquid on the plate (the fish will release some liquid while it sits), also return peeled garlic to pan and cook on medium-low heat for 1 minute.
- Serve fish and vegetables together.

Tips:

- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the fish and vegetables will not cook evenly.
- Cook the fish until it is just opaque. Overcooking will make it tough.
- Season the dish to taste. Salt and pepper are a good starting point, but you can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic, paprika, or thyme.
- Serve the dish immediately. This will ensure that the fish and vegetables are still hot and flavorful.
