Spiced Tomato Baked Cod

Spiced Tomato Baked Cod

Serves 1 

1 x 200g cod steak, skinned
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1/2 garlic clove, crushed
1 large ripe tomato, diced
pinch of paprika
pinch of ground turmeric
pinch of saffron
2 tsps chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
freshly ground black pepper


Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, Gas Mark 6.


Season the fish well on both sides and place, skin-side down, in an ovenproof dish.


Heat a non-stick frying pan, add the onion and dry-fry until soft. Add the garlic and diced tomato and cook briskly for 4–5 minutes. Add the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Season with black pepper.


Spoon the mixture onto the cod steak and place, uncovered, in the oven for 12–15 minutes or until just cooked. The cod should flake easily when teased with a fork.
