Description
A delicious and healthy baked cod recipe with olives, cherry tomatoes, and aromatic herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fillets cod (about 5 ounces each)
- ½ lemon
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- ⅓ cup pitted kalamata olives (coarsely chopped)
- ⅓ cup pitted green olives (such as Castelvetrano olives, coarsely chopped)
- ⅓ cup diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- chopped fresh parsley (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Pat cod fillets dry and place them in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Squeeze some lemon juice (about ½ of a lemon) over the fish, then evenly sprinkle on the sweet paprika and season generously with salt and pepper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, green olives, red onion, olive oil, garlic, and dried oregano. Stir gently to combine.
- Spoon this mixture on and around the cod in the baking dish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until cod is cooked through (it should register 145°F in the center and flake easily with a fork).
- Serve, sprinkled with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cod is fresh and cooked accurately to avoid dryness.
