Whether you are a seafood lover or are simply seeking a healthy dinner option, this cod fish in tomato sauce recipe is a satisfying choice.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Cod in Tomato Sauce<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Diced tomatoes<\/strong>: Canned tomatoes with basil, oregano and garlic make a tangy sweet sauce for the dish. The inclusion of herbs and aromatics adds depth and Italian flair.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cod fillets<\/strong>: Mild, flaky and tender cod pairs beautifully with the robust tomato sauce. This versatile white fish also contains essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids and protein.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Olive oil<\/strong>: Used to saut\u00e9 the onions and sear the cod, olive oil adds a subtle fruity richness and helps to infuse the dish with classic Mediterranean flavor. Its healthy fats also contribute to the overall nutritional profile of the recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onions<\/strong>: Thinly sliced onions bring a natural sweetness and savory depth to the tomato sauce. They enhance the sauce&#8217;s texture and meld seamlessly with the herbs and spices as they cook down.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dried oregano<\/strong>: This fragrant herb reinforces the Mediterranean essence of the dish, imparting a warm and slightly peppery note that complements both the tomatoes and the fish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pepper<\/strong>: A dash of pepper adds mild heat and balances the sweetness of the tomatoes and onions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red pepper flakes<\/strong>: The flakes contribute gentle heat and a hint of smokiness. Adjust the amount to your preference.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whole wheat pasta<\/strong>: The pasta&#8217;s hearty texture and nutty flavor pair well with the saucy, flavorful fish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parsley<\/strong>: A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a pop of color and a fresh, herbaceous finish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Pur\u00e9e the tomatoes<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2046866\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cod-in-Tomato-Sauce_TOHD24_162481_SoniaBozzo_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Tomato Sauce In A Blender\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sonia Bozzo for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Place the tomatoes in a blender, then cover and process until they are pureed.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Saut\u00e9 the cod<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2046867\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cod-in-Tomato-Sauce_TOHD24_162481_SoniaBozzo_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Cod Fillets In A Plate\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sonia Bozzo for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Pat the fish dry with paper towels.

Place the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to two days. Keep the pasta separate to prevent it from becoming overly soggy.<\/p>\n<p>Reheat gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat until warmed through, taking care not to overcook the fish. You can also reheat in the microwave in short intervals, stirring occasionally. Cook fresh pasta while reheating and serve them together.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze cod in tomato sauce?<\/h3>\n<p>To freeze, transfer the cooled cod and tomato sauce into a freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag, removing as much air as possible. Freeze for up to two months. Thaw the frozen cod and sauce overnight in the refrigerator. For best results, do not freeze the pasta; cook it fresh when you are ready to serve.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make cod in tomato sauce ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>You can partially prepare this meal ahead by making the tomato sauce up to two days in advance and storing it in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, reheat the sauce, cook the cod as directed and combine them for a quick meal.<\/p>\n<h2>Cod in Tomato Sauce Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2046870\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cod-in-Tomato-Sauce_TOHD24_162481_SoniaBozzo_5.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Plate With Whole Wheat Past And Cod In Tomato Sauce And Parsley\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sonia Bozzo for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned for this recipe?<\/h3>\n<p>You can use fresh tomatoes instead of canned ones.
