Baked Cod with Olives & Tomatoes
Reader ratingsMediterranean-style white fish baked in a briny tomato-olive sauce — light, elegant, and quick.
Why it’s good for you
Cod is a lean, low-mercury protein, and the olive-oil-and-tomato base is pure Mediterranean-diet territory.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a baking dish, toss the tomatoes, olives, garlic, capers, red pepper flakes, and half the olive oil. Roast 10 minutes until the tomatoes start to burst.
- Pat the cod dry, season with salt, and nestle it into the tomato mixture.
- Drizzle with the remaining oil and the juice of half the lemon.
- Bake 12–15 minutes until the cod is opaque and flakes easily.
- Scatter with basil and serve with lemon wedges.
Tips
- Cod is lean and mild — the briny sauce does all the flavoring work.
- Serve over a spoonful of white beans or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
