Ingredients

6 plum tomatoes, sliced into quarter wedges

1/2 red onion, sliced into quarters

Olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

7 cloves garlic

1 jalapeno, sliced in half and seeds removed

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Juice of 1 lime

4 (5-ounce) center-cut cod filets, skinned

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Add the tomatoes and red onion to a bowl and drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add to a greased baking sheet. Add the garlic to a square of tinfoil, drizzle with olive oil and seal. Place on the sheet tray and roast for 25 minutes, until charred and tender.
  3. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Add the vegetables and garlic to a food processor along with jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice; pulse until chunky. Taste for seasoning and season with salt and pepper, if necessary.

This one really worked out nicely!! I cook for people as a side job, and my challenge from a couple was to find something to do with the cod their son had given them. Cod is normally so bland. As her son is a fisherman, she taught me one tip to keep it from tasting fishy - scrape off any of the gray portions. I did, and no fishy taste whatsoever. We all loved this recipe. The tomato sauce is *mild* and light enough to go with a light fish - is not heavy like pasta sauce nor salsa-like in spite of the ingredients. I made it as written except used less jalapeno. Also, when the fish was done, I dumped the sauce over it in the pan, covered the pan, and let it heat for a minute. I then let it sit for 10 minutes with a lid on, so the flavors would be absorbed. My fish flaked into chunks also, but nobody cared. Definitely making this again!!! Love the Neelys - cutest couple and all of their recipes are delicious.
