Oven baked codfish in cream and tomato sauce

400 grams of Codfish fillets
1 tin chopped tomatoes (about 400 grams)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 chopped leek
1 chopped shallot
4 tablespoons fresh basil (or 2 tablespoons dried basil)
salt and pepper

Sause:
2 dl cream
1 tablespoons mustard (preferably with mustard seeds)
2 cloves of garlic
1 cube of stock
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Put the fish in an oven proof dish (I recommend that you put a little bit of oil in the bottom of the dish before you put the fish in). Blend all the ingredients for the sause in a casserole and make it boil before you pour it over the fish. Place the oven rack in the lowest position and let it bake in the oven for 15-20 min.

Blend olive oil and chopped tomatoes. Put in leek, shallot and basil. Put the blend on top of the fish, and continue baking in the oven for 15 minutes.

Serve with boiled potatoes or rice, and perhaps a salad.

Enjoy!
