Bacalhau assado

Ingredientes

• 2 lbs Cod fillets (5-6 thick fillets (I used Costco frozen Atlantic Caught Cod))
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 large onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 carrots (julienned)
• 4 TBSP ketchup
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup oil (divided for frying)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Generously season and flour the fillets. Sear each side in 4 TBSP of oil until nicely browned. Set partially cooked fillets aside and wipe clean skillet.

2. 2

   In the same skillet over medium heat, saute the carrots and onions in 4 TBSP of oil until caramelized and soft. Add the ketchup and simmer until heated thoroughly.

3. 3

   Pre-heat oven to 375°F. In a 13 by 9-inch baking dish layer half of the vegetable mixture over the bottom. Top with fillets and the remaining vegetable mixture. Pour the boiling water over the top and bake covered for 15 minutes.
