My husband has been asking me to make fish in tomato sauce for some time. He wanted it to taste like the canned sardines in tomato sauce that he had growing up in Ukraine. Of course this Cod Fish in Tomato Sauce recipe is far better since it doesn’t come from a can! He agreed. The fish is flaky and juicy and the sauce is legit. It can be served warm or cold.
The sauce is lightly tangy and sweet – we modified the sauce portion of this recipe from The New Ukrainian Cookbook. Oh p.s. have you tried capers? If you haven’t, don’t be afraid of them. For a loooong time I thought capers were scary – I’m not sure why, but it kept me from discovering them. They taste like salty mustard flavored pickles and they are a great addition to this dish. You can buy a small jar for $1-something.
This super easy and tasty Cod Fish in Tomato Sauce is perfect for pairing with rice, grits, or pasta. Your meal will be ready to serve in about 30 minutes.
You definitely don’t want to skip this recipe, friends. This Cod Fish in Tomato Sauce is one of the finest seafood meals and it’ll impress even the pickiest eaters. Prep is a breeze, clean-up is minimal, and the whole process is very easy, so you have no excuse not to try this cod fish recipe.
