Step 5 Nestle the fish into the tomato sauce. Do not cover the fish with the sauce. Option 1: Place in the oven covered and cook for 8-12 minutes until the fish is flaky and cooked through. Option 2: This fish can also be cooked right on the stovetop. Simply cover the fish and simmer for 8-12 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flaky.
