Baked Cod with Summer Squash


Fish fillets sauteed in a little olive oil, then baked, are far lower in fat than fried
fish.  Meaty cod fillets baked with vegetables and tomato sauce make a
substantial main dish.  Serve the fish with brown rice or pasta.

1/4 cup plain dried bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon rosemary, crumbled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 medium yellow squash (6 ounces each), halved lengthwise and cut
     crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick silces
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1-1/2 cups canned tomatoes, chopped with their juice
4 skinless, boneless cod fillets (6 ounces each)

  1. Preheat oven to 400F.  In a small bowl, stir together bread crumbs,
    Parmesan, rosemary, and 1 tablespoon of oil; set aside.
  2. In a large ovenproof no-stick skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil
    over medium heat.  Add onion and garlic and stir-fry 7 minutes or until
    onion is tender.
  3. Stir in bell pepper, yellow squash, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4
    teaspoon of pepper.  Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until
    pepper is crisp-tender.  Stir in tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.  Bring
    to a boil and cook 7 minutes or until lightly thickened.
  4. Place cod on top of vegetables and sprinkle with remaining 1/4
    teaspoon each salt and pepper.  Top with bread crumb mixture.  Bake,
    uncovered, 20 minutes or until cod is cooked through and bread
    crumbs are lightly browned.
