Very simple quick and tasty. I added onions, garlic and oregano to the tomatoes as I didn't have olives. Cooked the fish for about 10 mins in the tomatoes on the hob instead of the oven. Will make this again!

This tasted lovely. I didn't use any pancetta though. Served with creamy mashed potatoes and broccoli.

Bake the sauce for 10-15 minutes (add some garlic) then add the fish and cook for further 10. Cod does not need 20 minutes. Simple dish with enough taste to make this a keeper and a good base for additions - chorizo, chilli, peppers etc

Oh my lord this was delicious. Really simple but so big on flavour. I ended up adding up a bit of garlic and basil to the tomatoes which worked really well.

Can this recipe be frozen

Thanks for your question. We don't recommend this one for freezing as the cod will become overcooked when reheating but if you have leftovers, it's perfectly safe to freeze so that it doesn't go to waste. It'll taste fine but the cod will break up.
