Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

While oven is preheating, thinly slice onion. Half cherry tomatoes and kalamata olives. Heat about 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Sauté onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add sliced garlic cloves, tomatoes and olives. Cook for an additional 7 to 10 minutes, until tomatoes start to break down a bit and release their liquid.

Juice one lemon into the pan and nestle cod pieces into the center. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil and season well with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.

Place pan in preheated oven and bake for 14 to 16 minutes, until cod is cooked through.

Remove from the oven, top with fresh, chopped parsley (optional) and serve with roasted carrots or the sides of your choice.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Cod Properly 🎯
Pat the cod fillets completely dry with paper towels before cooking to ensure a golden crust and prevent steaming, which locks in moisture and flavor.
Sear Skin-Side First 🔥
If your cod has skin, sear it skin-side down first in avocado oil over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes to create a crispy, flavorful crust before flipping.
Build Flavor with Garlic Infusion 🧄
Slice garlic thinly and cook it in avocado oil for 30-45 seconds before adding tomatoes to create an aromatic base that infuses the entire dish with deep Mediterranean flavor.
Add Olives Late for Texture 🫒
Stir in kalamata olives during the final 2-3 minutes of cooking to preserve their briny flavor and meaty texture, preventing them from becoming mushy.
Fresh Parsley Garnish Timing ✨
Chop fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the finished dish just before serving to brighten the dish with fresh, vibrant flavor that would diminish if cooked into the sauce.
