- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and season them on both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, making sure not to let it brown.
Step 5
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and release their juices.
Step 6
Stir in the kalamata olives and capers, and pour in the dry white wine, letting it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 7
Gently nestle the seasoned cod fillets into the tomato mixture in the skillet.
Step 8
Spoon some of the tomato mixture over the top of the fillets to coat them and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Step 9
Bake the cod in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 10
Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the cod with fresh lemon juice.
Step 11
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish before serving.
Step 12
Serve hot, optionally with crusty bread, rice, or a simple green salad to complete the meal.
