Mediterranean Baked Cod

Recipe Description

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:
