Cod is not really one of my favorite fishes. There are many other fish types that are richer in taste which I enjoy much more than this Atlantic fish.
Still I decided to bake cod that I bought at a local market today (it is really difficult to find good fish variety in England, specially if you where brought up in Spain).
For this recipe you will need the following ingredients (light dinner for 2 people):
- 2 Cod fillets (boneless and clean)
- 2 tomatoes (I used vine ripened claret tomatoes which have a sweet and juicy aroma)
- 1 onion (in this instance I used a small shallot onion)
- 1 garlic clove
- Dired oregano
- Black pepper
- Salt (I used sea salt flakes; a natural occurring sea salt)
- Virgin olive oil (I was tempted to use my newly acquired ‘2008 Frantoio Gulielmo di Malavalle‘ oil, but I will leave it for another dish)
Preparation
- Sprinkle the cod filets with the salt and pepper to your taste.
- Place the fillets on the oiled baking pot.
- Chop the tomatoes, garlic and onion into small pieces and mix them.
- Spoon the mix on top of the cod fillets.
- Sprinkle the top with the oregano.

- Bake at 450ºF for around 30 minutes (possibly less ~20 minutes)
- Take it out of the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.

You could also serve it with a nice mediterranean salad as it will mix very well with the taste of this cod recipe.
I hope you enjoy trying it out as much as I did eating it tonight
