  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Fish

  • 4 cod filets

Vegetables & Add-ins

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 (14-ounce) can marinated quartered artichoke hearts, drained
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup olives (mix of Kalamata and Castelvetrano), pitted and halved
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

Seasonings & Oils

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced (about 3 tablespoons juice)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Finishing Touches

  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Combine the vegetables: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large baking dish, mix together the cherry tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts, thinly sliced red onion, kalamata and Castelvetrano olives, minced garlic, olive oil, half of the lemon juice (about 1 ½ tablespoons), dried oregano, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Roast the vegetables: Place the baking dish in the oven and roast the vegetable mixture for 12 to 15 minutes, until the tomatoes soften and become jammy, releasing their flavorful juices.
  3. Add the cod: Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Nestle the cod filets gently among the roasted vegetables. Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the fish, and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Scatter the crumbled feta cheese evenly around the fish.
  4. Bake the cod: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork, indicating it is cooked through.
  5. Finish and serve: Remove from the oven and top the cod and vegetables with the chopped fresh parsley, a bit of lemon zest, and a final squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh cod filets and high quality extra-virgin olive oil.
  • You can substitute other firm white fish like haddock or halibut if cod is unavailable.
  • If you prefer a milder olive flavor, use just one type of olive such as Castelvetrano only.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, rice, or a simple green salad.
  • To make it gluten-free, ensure canned artichokes and olives have no added gluten-containing ingredients.
