This is super quick and super tasty cod loin recipe. Our baked cod with capers is ideal when you want a hassle-free low-fat meal. It is smart enough to serve to friends for supper too - just double up the quantities accordingly and serve with green beans or broccoli and new boiled potatoes or just with a fresh green salad and a chilled glass of wine. We’ve used cod loin, considered to be the best part because of its thickness and sweet flavour but you can of course use ordinary pieces of fillet. Large caper berries look attractive, but smaller capers are fine too.

- Add the cherry tomatoes and bake for a further 5 mins until the tomatoes are just softened and the fish flakes easily. Serve hot with wedges of lemon.
Top Tip for making Baked cod with capers
You can use frozen fish fillets, just cover the dish and cook for about 20 mins before adding the tomatoes. The fish is cooked when it is white and flakes easily.
