Thank you so very much Roxanne, I’m so glad you enjoyed this enough to make twice (and hopefully countless more times!). Great tip re: the olives for readers as well.

As for the weight of the cod, I’m simply going to have to make it again and see how much they weighed, as I’m actually not sure off hand. And as for the tomatoes, and getting them more “juicy” it’s difficult to say, as that’s how they come here, naturally – but I have a feeling this comes more down to the tight fitting lid than anything (which keeps the sauce/liquid in). Is your lid loose, by chance?

I have now made this recipe twice as it is so easy and healthy, and yet so very tasty. I served it with fresh bread and a simple spring green salad. I am experimenting with different types of tomatoes, as I am unable to produce the amount of liquid seen in the photos. I have been compensating for this by adding white wine, which works very well. Any suggestions as to have more tomato “sauce”? Also, it would help to know the weight of the cod, as we buy very fresh cod that comes as fillets rather than loins. (It’s one reason I made it twice as I purchased too much cod the first time – a very happy mistake.) One recommendation for people who find the olives too overwhelming: half or quarter them, or slice them into rounds. They will still offer a lovely flavour but it will not be so overwhelming for younger, more sensitive taste buds. Thank you, Audrey, for sharing such a simple yet lovely dish.

Absolutely, Jessie! Cod is a one of the more forgiving fish to cook, but you’re right – it’ll crumble if you go overboard.

Delicious! Be careful not to overcook cod or it falls apart ruining presentation.

In reply to Miss Moneypenny. So glad you enjoyed it! Absolutely nothing wrong with adding a little more tomato and garlic :) Great choice of sides as well, compliments to the chef!

This was delicious. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of an extra 2 tomatoes and a little extra garlic. Served with rice pilaf and an arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette. Will definitely make again. Thank you!
