Cod with sun dried tomatoes and basil pesto.

I discovered amazing combination. Sun dried tomatoes and basil pesto! All, what we need to do now, is to add a cod and mozzarella cheese. We get aromatic, simply dinner!

I prefer baking fish to frying. It’s healthier and we can taste fish not only a breadcrumb and oil.
I think you can use any fish you like. Basil always comes together perfectly with fish.
In this recipe I used ready-made green basil pesto, if you don’t have pesto at home, fresh basil leaves could be a good alternative.
