Yummy fish dish

Despite the diagnosed and continuing diverticulitis which I have had for maybe 40 years or so...I needed to eat something like this!

In a large frying pan with lid heat 2 tablespoons olive oil
Add one or two crushed / chopped garlic cloves and a teaspoon of Aleppo pepper (chilli flakes). Cook, stirring often, until fragrant for about three minutes or less.
Add smashed canned whole peeled tomatoes or chopped fresh ones with tomato puree, a splosh of white wine, bay leaves, a pinch of saffron previously soaked in boiled water.
Bring to boil and reduce heat.
Simmer for about 5–7 minutes.
Stir to blend during this time to prevent stickiness.
Season with salt and pepper.
Add two or four skinned cod fillets or steaks on top ... depends how much sauce you have made.. Cover with lid and steam for another 5 -7 minutes... basting fish as you go! 
Use fish slice to serve sieved tomatoes onto centre of plate, then cod, then sauce, then sprinkle with rocket, served with one or two tiny new potatoes cooked in the microwave and a few broccoli trees.
DIVINE!  but I needed to have reduced my sauce more!
