Ingredients:
1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes in juice |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped |
rounded 1/4 teaspoon cayenne |
3/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 1/4 teaspoons salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar |
6 (5-ounce) catfish fillets |
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
Directions:
1. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Purée tomatoes with their juice in a blender. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook garlic, spices, and 3/4 teaspoon salt, stirring, until garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Add tomato purée and sugar and briskly simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.
3. Pour sauce into a 13- by 9-inch baking dish. Pat fish dry and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Arrange fillets in 1 layer on sauce, tucking each tail end under if necessary to fit, and bake until fish is just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve sprinkled with parsley.
