  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cod fillets (6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup vegetable or chicken broth
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2: Prepare the Sauce

In a medium bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, cherry tomatoes, olives, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and let the flavors blend.

Step 3: Arrange the Cod in the Baking Dish

Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish, leaving space between each piece. Pour the broth and lemon juice around the fish, helping to create a flavorful base.

Step 4: Top the Cod with the Tomato Mixture

Spoon the tomato and olive mixture evenly over each cod fillet, making sure to distribute it well so every bite is packed with flavor.

Step 5: Bake the Cod

Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of freshness. Enjoy immediately!
