This is an easy dinner for a (possibly) hectic Friday.
Bacalao a la Marinera (Fisherman's Cod) Preparation and cooking time: 30 minutes12oz (360gr) cod filets or other white fish, fresh or frozen and thawed
1/4 cup (1oz, 30gr) slivered or chopped almonds
1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tbs olive oil
15oz (450gr) whole tomatoes, drained reserve juices for another use
1/3 cup (3oz, 85ml) white wine
2 bay (laurel) leaves
2 tbs dry bread crumbs
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and sauté until tender. Drain tomatoes, reserving juice for another use. Roughly chop the tomatoes. Add to pan along with white wine and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer and let cook, uncovered, 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove bay leaves and stir in bread crumbs.
Place fish in baking dish just large enough to hold it in one layer. Spoon the sauce over, sprinkle with almonds and cover either with a lid or foil. Bake at 400F (200C) for about 15 minutes, or until fish is done. Uncover for the last 5 minutes of baking time. Fish flakes easily when done. (If you have pieces more than 1" (2.5cm) thick it may take 20 minutes.)
Remove fish from dish, place on a small platter and serve.

1 cup (8oz, 240ml) chicken stock
2 medium carrots
1 cup (8oz, 240ml) milk

1/2 tbs olive oil

Lightly oil a glass baking dish (1 qt, 1 litre).
When rice is done, stir in the carrots and let sit for a minute to cool slightly. Add the rice and carrots to the eggs along with half of the cheese. Spoon carrot / rice mixture into dish, sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake, 400F (200C) for 30 minutes. Remove and serve.
