Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Prep a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet and add onions, garlic, and bell pepper, cooking until the onion is soft. Add the anchovies, olives, fennel seed, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Place 4 pieces of the cod in a single layer in the baking dish. Spread evenly with the anchovy/olive mixture.
  5. Top each piece with another piece, making a cod “sandwich.” Top each with a slice of tomato.
  6. Combine the diluted tomato paste with the red wine and pour over the fish.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes until the fish is flaky, basting every 5 minutes or so.

Most of the cod fillets I see are pretty darn large. It would be helpful to include weight guidance for the fish.
