Cod With Cherry Tomatoes And Spring Onions Recipes

BAKED COD WITH TOMATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the fish in a large colander and rinse under cold running water. Place in a large non-reactive baking dish, and make 5 horizontal 3-inch slits on each side. Season the fish on both sides with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
• In a mixing bowl, toss together the sliced tomatoes, onions, garlic, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside until needed.
• Place the fish, skin side down, in a roasting pan. Thickly coat the top side of the fish with the olive spread. Layer the tomatoes and cilantro flat on top of the tapenade like scales, then top with the onions and garlic. Place the fish in the oven and bake until the juices run clear and the onions are beginning to crisp and slightly blacken along the edges, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the fish from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes. Place the fish on a platter and serve, garnished with cilantro sprigs.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine all the ingredients and puree. Transfer to a bowl. Cover and set aside until needed, or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

COD WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND SPRING ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190°C I have a fan oven so adjust to suit your own appliance.
• Cut a piece of tin foil big enough to put your piece of fish on. Using a spray oil (FryLight) spray a piece of tin foil before placing the fish in the centre of the foil and wrapping the fish up like a parcel. This will stop the fish sticking to the foil.
• Next cut the cherry tomatoes into small pieces and sprinkle over the fish then do the same with the spring onion. Add the lemon juice and a drop of olive oil, season with salt and pepper and wrap the parcel up tightly.
• You will now have a foil parcel of fish ready for the oven.
• Cook in the middle of the oven for around 20 mins, checking after 15 by carefully unwrapping the top of the parcel and checking the colour and texture of the fish.
• To serve open up the parcels and place the fish on a plate using a fish slice before pouring over the tomato and onions and the juices.
