Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups (halved) Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup (pitted and sliced) Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons (rinsed) Capers
- 0.25 cup (finely diced) Red onion
- 3 tablespoons (chopped) Parsley
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lemon juice
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush each fillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 3
Place the cod fillets onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 4
While the cod is baking, prepare the Mediterranean salsa. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, capers, red onion, parsley, and basil.
Step 5
Add the lemon juice, the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the bowl. Toss everything together gently until well combined.
Step 6
Once the cod is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Transfer the fillets to serving plates.
Step 7
Spoon the Mediterranean salsa generously on top of each cod fillet.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a bed of couscous, and enjoy!
