Quick & Easy Italian-Style Cod Fillets

Jakie's Mom's Note:

In my never-ending quest to get my husband, not a fish fan, to eat what's good for him, I put this recipe together using items from my pantry. Remembering what I had learned from my Italian "super-cook" mother, I came up with this delicious, quick and easy fish recipe. He loved it! This might even convert a couple of fish-haters.

Very good and quick to prepare. I didn't have any cheese in the house so mixed some partially cooked brown rice right in with the tomato sauce and added a diced zucchini toward the end for a one pot meal. Only had plain organic diced tomatoes so added Italian seasoning and balsamic vinegar into the can when I opened it and gave it a quick stir (along with a crushed garlic clove).
