Steps

1
Soften the chopped onion, garlic and green pepper in half of the oil over low heat.
2
Add the tomatoes, the sugar and a little salt and simmer until thick and sweet.
3
Meanwhile, pat the cod dry and dust it lightly with flour.
4
Fry the cod in the rest of the oil, skin side first, until lightly golden on both sides.
5
Place the cod on the tomato sauce and cook together gently so it finishes cooking and flakes easily.
6
Serve hot, with bread to mop up the sauce.

Tips and questions

How do I desalt salt cod?: Soak thick loins in cold water in the fridge for 36–48 hours, changing the water 3 or 4 times. Or buy it already desalted.
Can I make it ahead?: Yes, it is even better the next day. Keep it 2–3 days in the fridge and reheat gently so the cod does not dry out.
