GREEK BAKED FISH WITH TOMATOES AND ONIONS
The robust flavors in the tomato sauce work well with a variety of white fishes. If you have traveled in the Greek Islands, chances are you have had this fish. Use a white-fleshed fish that will stand up to the robust flavors in the tomato sauce. From the Monterey Bay Aquarium's list of best choices I recommend Pacific cod or halibut, black cod or striped bass. From the "Good Alternatives" list I recommend Mahi Mahi from United States waters.

Steps:
- Pat the fish dry and season to taste with salt and pepper. Oil one or two baking dishes large enough to accommodate the fish in one layer. Lay the fish in the dish and pour on the lemon juice. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the onions. Cook, stirring often, until they have softened and begun to color slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Stir in the tomatoes, sugar, paprika, cinnamon, dissolved tomato paste, wine, half the parsley and more salt and pepper to taste and bring to a simmer. Simmer uncovered, stirring often, until the sauce has cooked down a bit and is very fragrant, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour over the fish. Sprinkle on the remaining parsley.
- Place in the oven and bake until the fish is opaque and pulls apart easily with a fork, about 30 minutes. Baste the fish every 10 minutes if it is not submerged in the sauce. Serve hot or warm, with rice, bulgur, or potatoes.

Tips:
- Choose the right cod. Use fresh or frozen cod fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild smell. Avoid fillets that are brown or have a strong odor.
- Season the cod simply. Cod is a delicate fish, so it doesn't need a lot of seasoning. A simple sprinkle of salt, pepper, and lemon juice will do the trick.
- Cook the cod gently. Cod cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook the fish until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the cod with a variety of sides. Cod pairs well with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or potatoes.

Baked cod with tomatoes and onions is a simple, yet delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cod is flaky and tender, and the tomatoes and onions add a pop of flavor. This dish is also healthy and low in calories, making it a great option for those who are watching their weight.
