01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly spray the bottom of a Dutch oven or a casserole dish that has a lid. In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix together the lime juice, brown sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce. Stir it occasionally and let it cook until the sauce thickens, which should take about five minutes.

Step 2
Place the cod into the prepared dish and pour the sauce evenly over the top. Arrange the tomatoes around the fish. Cover the dish with the lid and pop it in the oven. Bake for around 10 minutes, or until the fish is flaky and cooked through when you test it with a fork.

How to serve

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a low oven or microwave to avoid drying out the fish. Avoid freezing, as it may change the texture of the glaze.
