    Baked cod with caper mash served on a plate. A glass of wine in the background.

    I remade this baked cod with caper mash recipe in June 2016 when Cirio contacted me offering me some free samples of their tinned tomatoes.

    I received no financial incentive for recreating this dish, it is still made to the original recipe I published in April 2014.

    I'm delighted that Cirio also shared my baked cod with caper mash recipe to their followers on their Cirio UK Facebook page.

    There's a whopping amount of fibre and protein that you'll get from this baked cod recipe.

    Plus the delicious caper mash helps to fill you up too.

    This baked cod with caper mash is a really tasty and easy quick healthy meal. A delicious tomato basil sauce covers the fish which is then baked in the oven and served with a healthy low carb caper mash.

    This is a really simple to make baked cod recipe.

    It's delicious and perfect to make when you really don't want to do much prep. And just need something you can quickly cook in the oven.

    In our household this baked fish recipe is the perfect end to a hectic week at work. 

    And if it's the end of the week, then I reckon it's pretty much obligatory to have a nice glass of white wine with it, don't you?

    Equipment

    • Saucepans
    • Food processor
    • Pasta dish
    • Chopping board
    • Kitchen knives
    • Peeler
    • Kitchen scale
    • Wooden spoon
    • Measuring jug
    • Potato masher

    Ingredients

    • 2 cod fillets
    • 400 g tin of chopped tomatoes
    • A good handful of torn basil leaves
    • ½ clove garlic crushed
    • Salt
    • Freshly ground pepper
    • Low fat cooking spray
    • 200 g cauliflower florets
    • 200 g white potatoes peeled and cut into small chunks
    • 2 tablespoon green capers from a jar; drained and chopped up roughly
    Metric - US Customary

    Instructions

    • Pre-Heat the oven to 180C
    • Empty the tin of chopped tomatoes into a small sauce pan, add the torn basil leaves and crushed garlic, then simmer gently for 5 – 8 minutes.
    • Remove the pan from the heat, allow to cool a little and then blitz into a sauce in a food processor or using a stick blender. Return to the sauce pan and season to taste.
    • Spray the cod fillets a couple of times on each side with the low fat cooking spray and place in a shallow oven baking dish. Pour the tomato basil sauce over the fish.
    • Cover the baking dish with tin foil and place in the oven, middle shelf and bake for 20 – 25 minutes until the fish is cooked.
    • Whilst the fish is cooking place the cauliflower florets and the white potatoes in a sauce pan of cold water, bring to the boil and boil for 10 – 12 minutes. Once the vegetables are soft, drain them, return them to the saucepan, and mash them together with a potato masher.
    • Add the chopped up green capers and mix all together.
    • Taste the mash. Generally there is not a need to season because the salt from the capers should be enough, however some pepper might be added to taste.
    • Serve the cooked fish on a bed of the caper mash with some of the tomato basil sauce spooned over. Peas are also a good accompaniment too.
