Stuffed-Olive Cod

Recipe Description

This Stuffed-Olive Cod recipe couldn’t be easier to make. It is quite frankly delicious too. I invented this recipe by accident one day.  I was trying to think of a novel way to cook cod when I took a look in the refrigerator and some leftover garlic stuffed olives caught my eye. I decided to cook the stuffed olives with the fish and the rest is history!

It couldn’t be easier to make this – simply place everything in a skillet and cook until the fish is flaky. I usually serve this cod dish with a fresh green salad on the side but if you are feeling hungry, you could have steamed potatoes instead. 

To make Stuffed-Olive Cod, you will need the following ingredients:

Man, this Stuffed-Olive Cod is a game changer for lazy cooks like me. I stumbled on a pack of garlic stuffed olives from last week and decided to give it a shot. So easy to whip up, it’s now my go-to dinner. Totally hit the spot with a salad on the side.
