How to Make Baked Cod Spanish Style

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut 1 pound cod fillet into 1/2-inch thick strips.
  3. Season cod strips generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over a baking sheet. Arrange cod strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Sprinkle 1/2 cup finely chopped onion and 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper (any color) evenly over the cod.
  6. Pour 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, around the cod. Scatter 1/2 cup pitted black olives over the tomatoes.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cod is flaky and cooked through.
  8. While the cod bakes, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup cold water until smooth.
  9. Once the cod is cooked, remove it from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
  10. Pour the flour mixture into the baking sheet with the remaining sauce and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  11. Pour the thickened sauce over the cod.
  12. Garnish with fresh watercress (optional).
