Baked Cod with Ratatouille

Topping fish with ratatouille, a classic Provencal vegetable stew, keeps it moist and tender. Serve with rice or polenta.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 large cloves garlic, chopped

1 pound eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch chunks

2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch chunks

1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch chunks

1/2 cup onion, chopped

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY

salt and pepper, to taste

4 (6-ounce) pieces cod fillet, or other white fish

Honey Tips

Honey Is Sweeter Than Sugar

Due to the high level of fructose, honey is 25% sweeter than table sugar.

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°.
In a large skillet, heat oil. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, onion and oregano. Cover and cook 10 minutes. Mix in tomatoes, vinegar and honey. Cover and cook over low heat about 20 minutes until vegetables are tender but not mushy. Season with salt and pepper.
Place fish in a large baking dish that has been lightly coated with oil. Spoon ratatouille over fish. Bake 20-30 minutes, depending on thickness, until fish just turns opaque.
