Delicious roast cod on a crusty baguette, topped with fresh spinach and a tasty sauce with tomato, onion, anchovy, garlic and basil, then sprinkled with fresh parmesan! You could serve these as an appetizer, but I like them as a main course for dinner with a fruit salad. They are scrumptious!
Ingredients
Sauce
  • 3 large Roma tomatoes, finely chopped
  • ½ large red onion, finely chopped
  • 3 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp of kosher salt
  • ½ tsp of freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp of sugar
  • 1 Tbs of olive oil
  • 1 heaping Tbs of fresh basil leaves, chopped
Cod
  • 4 cod fillets
  • 1 Tbs of olive oil
  • salt & pepper
Baguette
  • 4 - 1" slices of a large baguette
  • drizzle of olive oil
  • salt & pepper
To Finish
  • 16 - 20 fresh spinach leaves
  • ¼ cup of fresh parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. Start by adding the tomatoes, red onion, anchovy, garlic, salt, pepper and sugar in a medium bowl, stir and set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Place the cod fillets on a baking sheet, drizzle both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt & pepper.
  3. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet, and also drizzle with olive oil, salt & pepper.
  4. Heat 1 Tbs of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium/high heat, add in the tomato mixture, cook and stir for about 10 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed and the sauce thickens, then stir in the basil.
  5. Bake the fish for 8 - 10 minutes and put the bread in the oven for the last 3 minutes of cooking time.
  6. To assemble the bruschetta, place a piece of fish on each slice of bread, then 4 - 5 spinach leaves, then top with sauce, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, pop it back in the oven just for a minute or two and serve!
