Cod in Tomatoes

This is one of my favorite ways to cook fish. Fish prepared like this comes out tender and aromatic. I served it on arugula and toast. It also goes very well with potatoes, preferably roasted.

I got the idea from Kwestia Smaku, but I made quite a lot of changes, so basically it turned into a completely new dish.

Ingredients:

• 2 portions of fish (I used cod cut into steaks, but fillets are fine)
• 1 can of tomatoes (400 g)
• 3 sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 onion
• half a zucchini
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
• olive oil

Heat the olive oil in a skillet, add the diced onion, then the diced zucchini and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for a moment, then simmer for about 5 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes, brown sugar, soy sauce and thyme leaves. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes. Lightly season the fish with salt and pepper, place it in the sauce and cook for about 10-20 minutes (less if it's a fillet; steaks take about 20 minutes).

Serve with just the sauce, or with salad and potatoes or toast.

Enjoy!
