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
directions
- 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.

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
