Fish in the oven with tomatoes

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make fish baked in the oven with tomatoes? The fish used in the recipe was fresh, so the cooking time does not include defrosting. You can take any fish: pollock, hake, cod. I have a sea rooster. Gut the fish, remove scales, remove the gills using thin long scissors and rinse under running cold water. If you have frozen fish, remove it from the freezer in advance and leave it at room temperature until thawed.

2. STEP 2

   

   Prepare the rest of the ingredients. For a richer sauce, use red or orange bell peppers if possible. I have cherry tomatoes, which are distinguished by their delicate skin; if you use regular tomatoes, I advise you to first remove the skin from them by making a cross-shaped cut and pouring boiling water over them.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the carrots, garlic cloves and onions. Cut the pepper in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and core. Rinse all vegetables in clean water and then dry with napkins. Cut the peppers and onions into medium-sized cubes, grate the carrots on a coarse grater, and pass the clove of garlic through a press or grate on a fine grater.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour a small amount of refined vegetable oil into a frying pan with a thick bottom and heat it. Send the onions, carrots and peppers to fry. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes (the vegetables should become soft and slightly golden).

5. STEP 5

   

   Add salt, garlic and spices to taste. I used less than a teaspoon each of salt, ground pepper, Provençal herbs and sugar. Mix everything and leave for a few seconds. Taste a little of the roast and add the missing element.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour the tomatoes in their own juice into the pan, stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place half of the tomato-vegetable sauce on the bottom of an ovenproof dish. Use a mold with high edges so that the fish is completely immersed in the sauce.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place fish in one layer. Distribute a few cherry tomatoes between the carcasses.

9. STEP 9

   

   Spread the second half of the sauce evenly on top.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the pan in a preheated oven and bake the fish in tomato sauce for 30-40 minutes at 220 degrees. Please note that cooking time and temperature depend on the capabilities of your oven. Remove the fish from the oven and sprinkle with finely chopped herbs.

Fish in the oven with tomatoes is a great dish for dinner. It has a rich and varied taste. There is both sweetness and pleasant sourness. The fish turned out very tender. For this dish I used mullet. I sent the head and tail for soup, and divided the carcass into portioned pieces (5 pieces). I baked fish in a cast iron frying pan. Zhemchuzhina, thank you very much for the recipe!
