Cook gently until softened, stirring occasionally, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour in ouzo and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing alcohol to evaporate. Add plum tomatoes and lightly crush with the back of a spoon until broken apart. Add water and mint, then season with salt and pepper. Simmer gently until sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high. Nestle cod fillets in the sauce and spoon some sauce over top. Cook, turning once halfway through, until fish flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Tips Cook's Notes: If you don't have ouzo, you can use vodka or white wine. The anise flavor of ouzo goes really well with fish, though, so try it if you can! I served this with whole wheat couscous with pine nuts, which was a yummy combo. I think it'd also be great with rice or good bread.
