Cod and tomato bruschetta are such a wonderful combination. I developed this recipe for Tomato Love and I hope you love it as much as my family does. The flavorful tomato bruschetta is delicious with fish but would be equally good on chicken thighs or steak.

Fish Ingredients

2tbspolive oilor avocado oil to cook the fish
sea salt to taste
black pepperto taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350
Mix all of the bruschetta ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside while you cook the fish. The flavors will meld together as it sits. The bruschetta can be made ahead but should be used within a day.
Pat the fish dry and cut into 3 or 4 ounce pieces, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
In a cast iron skillet on the stove, add 2 tbsp olive oil to the pan and heat on medium. When the oil is hot, put the fish in the pan and allow to cook for 4-5 minutes until fish begins to turn very white.
Put the cast iron pan in the oven and cook another 4-5 minutes.
Pour the bruschetta over the fish, garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
