This was very good, cut the recipe in half for supper tonight, the previous review was right, I too had to cook it for about 25 minutes, it could have been the thickness of the fillet. Lovely taste, the only change I made was to leave out the green pepper,because I made a rice pilaf to go with the cod and it had green pepper in it. The tomatoes, onions and basil complimented the cod. We will do it again, thanks for sharing!!

I made a couple substitutions - used red bell pepper instead of green, because I had one that needed to be used up, and substituted scallions for the onions, for the same reason. I used Italian seasoned bread crumbs and a tad bit more oil (I was too lazy to measure carefully.) I used the dry basil and didn't measure that either (probably 1 tsp. or so.) It was really very very good! Hubby didn't comment on it, but he ate all on his plate (that's pretty much all you can expect from him with fish.) It was so easy and fast to fix!! That was a real plus in my book. It would be a great dish for a hot summer night if you microwaved it to avoid heating the house with the oven. However, the cook time was short, so the oven wouldn't do too much damage to the household temp. even if you used it. I gave this 5 stars for #1 speed and ease of preparation, #2 eye appeal, and #3 taste appeal. It was very good, but not quite comfort food. But then is fish ever comfort food?
