Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Step 2: Arrange 4 cod fillets spaced evenly on the baking sheet. Drizzle the fillets with 2 tbsp olive oil and season with 1 1/2 tsp salt, 3/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp dried oregano.
  3. Step 3: Scatter 1 1/2 cups halved cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup halved kalamata olives, and 3 thinly sliced garlic cloves around the fish. Place one thin lemon slice on top of each fillet.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and tomatoes are softened and slightly blistered.
  5. Step 5: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
