It has been a while since I published a recipe to my segment – Janice’s Kitchen Corner. This one is a Portuguese recipe handed down from my grandmother and mother. It is called Fish in Molho, meaning fish in a gravy. I’m not sure I am spelling this correctly since my translator only gives Portuguese (Brazilian) and not the dialect from Portugal or Madeira where my grandparents are from.
The fish I use in this recipe is either cod or haddock. They are the best fish to stand up to this Molho. If you use a softer fish it will break up too much.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb haddock or cod skinned (this is plenty for two)
- Bread crumbs
- 2-3 tbs Extra Virgin Olive oil
- Red, green, orange or yellow peppers sliced (I used a combo of red and yellow)
- Chopped onion
- Can of diced tomatoes in juice
- Parsley fresh or dried
- Salt, pepper to taste
Directions:
- Cut fish into four pieces
- Cover fish with flavored bread crumbs (I use Italian, ha)
- Heat olive oil in pan and add fish, brown on both sides and remove from pan
- Add chopped onions and sliced peppers to pan and cook until tender
- Add diced tomatoes to pan and heat through
- Add fish to Molho and heat until bubbling and peppers are softer
- Add parsley to mixture (if you use fresh parsley add it at #5)
- Serve with white rice or potatoes
- Potatoes can be added to the pan after they are boiled separately to absorb the Molho for tastier potatoes
- Enjoy!


This is delicious! When I made it recently my husband requested it a few days later. I did not want it again that soon. But I will make it again once a week. I made it with polenta which I love and asparagus. I will add my recipe for polenta another time.
I hope you enjoy this recipe and it will become one of your favorites. It is healthy and delicious! Please check out all my recipes at Janice’s Kitchen Corner.
