Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a baking dish with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Step 2: In a medium skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes and 1/2 cup halved kalamata olives to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until tomatoes soften and release juices.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup white wine, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp lemon zest. Simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Step 5: Place 4 cod fillets (6 oz each) in the prepared baking dish. Spoon the tomato and olive ragout evenly over the fillets.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately.
