Ingredients:
- 1 lb (454 g) MSC certified sustainable frozen haddock, thawed and cut into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces
- 1 large tin (28 oz, 796 ml) of chopped tomatoes
- 1 jar (12 oz, 350 ml) roasted red peppers, cut into strips

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F

3. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
4. Add the cumin, smoked paprika, and mix well.
5. Add roasted red peppers, the can of tomatoes with the juices and bring to a light simmer.
