Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 ounces unsalted butter
2 lbs cod fish fillets, skin on, cut into 4 pieces
1 large onion, cut into quarters and sliced finely
4 plum tomatoes, skinned, seeded and chopped
4 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and finely chopped
1 1/4 cups fish stock
1/2 cup white wine
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper
parsley, to garnish

Steps:

Melt half the butter in a shallow flameproof casserole dish that is big enough to hold all the pieces of cod in a single layer.
Fry the cod, skin-side down, for 1 minute, until crisp and golden. Carefully remove from the dish and set aside.
Add the onion to the dish and fry gently for 5 minutes, until softened.
Add the plum tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, stock and white wine. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes, until slightly reduced and thickened.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the cod skin-side up on top of the onion and tomato mixture, transfer the casserole dish to the oven and bake for 5-6 minutes - less if the pieces of cod are thin.
Remove from the oven and lift the cod out on to a warm plate. Return the dish to the stove over a high heat, add the remaining butter and reduce by boiling rapidly for about 4 minutes, stirring now and then, to make a really thick sauce.
Stir in the parsley, season with salt and pepper and cook for 30 seconds more.
Spoon the sauce on to four warm plates, put the cod on top and garnish with parsley sprigs and serve.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
Don't overcrowd the baking dish. The cod should be in a single layer so that it cooks evenly.
Bake the cod until it is just cooked through. Overcooked cod will be dry and tough.
Serve the cod immediately. It is best when served hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Baked cod Portuguese is a simple and delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover cod. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
