Fish fillets are baked in a tomato sauce flavored with onions and garlic. This dish is topped with a layer of fresh green peppers for color and crunch.

Cod Baked with Green Bell Pepper & Tomatoes

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup minced white onion
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 1/4 pounds cod fillets, rinsed and patted dry
1 green bell pepper, seeded and julienned

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté garlic and onion for 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and continue to cook for 12 minutes or until liquid has evaporated and a chunky sauce develops.
3. Trim cod fillets by taking off any skin and removing any bones with tweezers or pliers, if necessary.
4. Coat the bottom of a 3-quart baking dish with vegetable cooking spray and arrange fillets in a single layer. Spoon tomato mixture over fish and top with bell pepper.
5. Bake, covered, for 15 minutes or, until fish is opaque all the way through and flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately.
