Print Recipe

Flaky cod fillets are marinated in a zesty mix of olive oil, lemon, and garlic, then baked with a vibrant blend of cherry tomatoes, red onions, and Kalamata olives, all topped with crumbled feta cheese. This healthy and satisfying dish is perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended. Add the cod fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 15-20 minutes at room temperature or up to an hour in the refrigerator.
  2. While the cod marinates, slice the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes. In a separate bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, red onion, Kalamata olives, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish with olive oil. Place the marinated cod fillets in the center of the dish and spread the vegetable mixture around them. Crumble feta cheese over the top.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Stir the dish halfway through baking for even cooking.
  5. Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Plate the cod fillets alongside the roasted vegetables, drizzling any remaining juices over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Substitute cod with other white fish like haddock or tilapia if desired.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini for extra nutrition.
  • For a spicy kick, consider adding red pepper flakes to the vegetable mixture.
  • This dish pairs well with couscous, quinoa, or a simple green salad.
