Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/Gas mark 4.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon olive oil into a roasting tin and add the cod fillets, turning to coat. Scatter the chorizo slices on top. Season with a little salt and black pepper and roast for 3-4 minutes.
Meanwhile, arrange the slices of French bread or ciabatta on a baking sheet and rub with the cut surfaces of the garlic clove. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
Arrange the vine tomatoes on top of the fish and add the capers. Roast for 9-10 more minutes. At the same time, bake the bread slices to crisp and brown them. Cook the vegetables in lightly salted boiling water for 4-5 minutes.
Scatter the chopped parsley over the fish and serve with the garlic bruschetta and vegetables.

Cook’s tip: Use any white fish you like, such as hake, haddock or halibut.
