Very good. Surprised my family.
You should call it a quick release if you are moving the steam vent, a natural release is letting it sit!
Thanks for mentioning it. I fixed it :]
This was an awesome recipe. I thought that I had tomato sauce but it was a can of Ro-tel. But it still came out great!
My pleasure that you liked the recipe 🙂
Hi Linda !
Awesome, I’m glad you like it 🙂
Why are we Sautéing a cup of tomato sauce for nine minutes?
Wouldn’t the cooking time be different for frozen or fresh
Sorry Corrie
Taking a second look at the recipe I see that you do give the different cooking times. (insert embarrassed face here)

I’ve never had cod before, and haven’t tried baking fish of any kind for about 40 years due to unsuccessful experiences. Your recipe is so very simple, that its encouraged me to give it a shot…if I can find fish in this shopping-limited world I now inhabit. But I’m looking forward to preparing it, Corrie. Thanks!
