Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons olive oil
½ large red onion, sliced
3 cups frozen sliced mixed peppers
¼ cup ouzo
1 (18 ounce) can whole plum tomatoes
¼ cup water
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 (4 ounce) frozen cod fillets, thawed

Steps:

  • Combine olive oil, onion, and bell peppers in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook gently until softened, stirring occasionally, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour in ouzo and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing alcohol to evaporate. Add plum tomatoes and lightly crush with the back of a spoon until broken apart. Add water and mint, then season with salt and pepper. Simmer gently until sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high. Nestle cod fillets in the sauce and spoon some sauce over top. Cook, turning once halfway through, until fish flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes.
