My father-in-law cooks cod in tomato sauce. I am not sure of the exact recipe but I do know the basic steps, so I hope this helps 
(If it is salted cod, make sure to soak in cold water in the fridge overnight). In a large pan on the stove, add a couple glugs of olive oil. Heat over medium heat and add one small onion, minced fine & one sweet red pepper minced fine. Cook until the onions are clear but not brown. Add 3 cloves garlic, minced fine and give it a quick stir. Cook the garlic for only about 2 minutes, then add 2 cans crushed tomatoes, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, a splash of red wine and chopped fresh parsley and basil. Add crushed red chilies if he likes spicy. Bring to a simmer over low-medium heat and add the fish (well drained if it was soaking). Cook for an hour over low heat, partially uncovered. Never allow the sauce to boil, it will ruin the tomato flavour. Serve with crusty buttered brown bread to sop up the sauce & enjoy!
