Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 large (peeled and segmented) navel oranges
- 0.75 cup (roughly chopped) cracked green olives
- 0.25 cup (finely diced) red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh mint

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3
Drizzle the cod with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
