20110104 Pesto Fish Dish

(SOURCE: Koken & Genieten - Pesto-visschotel)

My husband likes neither fish nor tomato, but he loved this dish and even asked for a second serving. So I consider this a roaring success! I think the onions and red pesto did the trick, because they were so fragrant and tasted so strong.

INGREDIENTS
2 onions, finely chopped
3 tbsp red pesto
3 tomatoes, sliced
600g codfish, dabbed dry, and seasoned with salt and pepper
handful of basil leaves, finely chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper

METHOD
1. Heat the oil in a pan, and brown the onions for about 3 minutes. Add the pesto and choped basil, and cook for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
2. Arrange the tomato slices in a greased oven dish, then the fish on top of the tomatoes. Spoon the onion mixture over the fish. Cook the dish in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes.
