    Ingredients

    • 4 cod fillets
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 onion, chopped
    • 400g can chopped tomatoes
    • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
    • Sprigs thyme leaves stripped
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

    Method

    • Tomato and Thyme Cod: Step-by-Step Method
    • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F), or set a large lidded pan over a gentle heat if using the stovetop method
    • Pat cod fillets dry with kitchen paper and set aside on a plate
    • Strip the thyme leaves from the sprigs and set aside
    • Peel and finely chop the onion
    • In a large nonstick pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat
    • Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté gently for 3-4 minutes until softened but not colored
    • Pour the canned chopped tomatoes into the pan with the onion
    • Stir in the brown sugar, soy sauce, and reserved thyme leaves
    • Bring the tomato mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally
    • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (note: soy sauce adds salt)
    • While the sauce simmers, line a shallow ovenproof dish (or use the pan if ovenproof) and lay the cod fillets in a single layer
    • Spoon the hot tomato and thyme sauce evenly over each cod fillet
    • Cover the dish with foil or a lid
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until cod is opaque and flakes easily, or gently cook covered on the stovetop over low heat for 12-15 minutes
    • Check doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the fillet; it should separate in large moist flakes
    • Plate each cod fillet with a generous layer of tomato and thyme sauce
    • Garnish with a small pinch of fresh thyme leaves if desired
    • Serve immediately, optionally with a side of steamed green beans or sautéed spinach
    • Enjoy your light, protein-rich Tomato and Thyme Cod
