Ingredients

4 portions of white fish (cod, pollock, or hake)

400 g (14 oz) crushed tomatoes or tomato pulp

2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced

1 large red onion, finely sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 bay leaves

2 sprigs fresh rosemary

2 sprigs fresh thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).
  2. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  5. Simmer the sauce for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Lightly oil a baking dish and arrange the white fish portions inside.

Notes

  • Use salmon instead of white fish for a richer flavor.
  • Add black olives or capers for a salty twist.
  • Substitute dried herbs if fresh are unavailable (1 tsp each).
  • Include zucchini or eggplant for more vegetables.
  • Top with grated cheese or breadcrumbs for a crispy finish.
  • Add chili flakes or Espelette pepper for heat.
  • Serve over pasta or couscous for a heartier dish.
  • Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for depth.
  • Finish with lemon juice for brightness before serving.
