Baked Cod with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
Instructions
1
|
Line a large baking sheet with foil. Cut bell peppers in half, through the stem. Remove stem, seeds and ribs and face cut-side down on foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place in oven set to broil for 15 to 17 minutes, until skins are fully charred.
2
|
While peppers are roasting, add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until translucent. Add in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
3
|
Remove peppers from the oven and set oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Carefully fold up the foil to create a sealed packet so the peppers steam inside. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes, until peppers are cool enough to touch. Peel away and discard skins.

|
Add roasted peppers and cooked onion/garlic mixture to a blender with 2 tablespoons olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper flakes. Puree until smooth.
5
|
Dry cod filets with a paper towel. Brush with olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet, and bake on the middle rack for 12 to 14 minutes, until fish reaches 145 degrees in the thickest part and just begins to flake apart.

|
Pour red pepper sauce onto a rimmed plate. Arrange cod filets into the sauce, garnish with chopped basil and lemon wedges (optional) and serve.

Serving suggestion: Add a side of steamed, riced vegetables or roasted potatoes to soak up the Red Pepper Sauce.
