Coconut Sambal Baked Cod: tender white fish oven grilled in a spicy sambal and coconut sauce. Bold, balanced and perfect with rice and veg.

Ingredients

4 cod loins or large fillets (other firm white fish will also work)
vegetable oil or any neutral oil
150g cherry tomatoes
1 x 400g tin good-quality coconut milk (at least 70% coconut extract)
1-3 tbsp sambal or chilli paste (I used sambal oelek, but any sambal or hot chilli paste works, e.g. chilli garlic paste)
½ onion
1 tbsp double-concentrated tomato purée
½ tsp salt, plus more for sprinkling
½-1 tsp sugar, to taste
fresh coriander, finely chopped
chilli oil, for drizzling (optional – the dish is already spicy!)
