If you are looking for a fast and easy fish dinner, this Mediterranean Baked Cod is for you! In this quick, one-dish recipe, cod fillets are roasted with cherry tomatoes, onions, garlic, Kalamata olives and Italian herbs. A combination of cherry tomatoes, which turn jammy and release some of their juices, olive oil, and a touch of white wine creates a vibrant sauce that goes nicely with the mild, flaky fish. Serve with pasta, rice, couscous, or a satisfyingly crusty piece of bread and a green salad.
Thick white fish fillet such as cod works best here. But you can make this recipe with haddock or halibut, too. This recipe calls for white wine. But don’t worry, most of the alcohol cooks off, leaving a wonderful flavor for your dish. For an alcohol-free version, just omit the wine and use water instead.
To make the Mediterranean Baked Cod, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
Lightly grease a rectangular baking dish large enough to hold all your fish pieces and tomatoes, and place the fish inside.
Scatter the onion slices, 3 crushed garlic cloves, 1 pound halved cherry tomatoes, and ¼ cup Kalamata olives around the fish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil all over and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Pour in ¼ cup white wine and scatter 4 tablespoons chopped butter evenly over the dish.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tomatoes and fish are cooked through.
Serve with a side of choice. Enjoy!
