  • Kalamata Olives, pitted
  • Bell Pepper, chopped
  • Olive Oil
  • Fresh Oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a large baking dish or an oven-safe skillet.
  2. In the baking dish, combine the cherry tomatoes, chopped bell pepper, pitted Kalamata olives, and minced garlic. Drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add fresh oregano, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Toss gently and spread evenly.
  3. Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Slice one lemon into thin rounds.
  4. Nestle the seasoned cod fillets on top of the vegetables. Arrange lemon slices on top of or around the cod. Squeeze juice from half of the remaining lemon over the dish.
  5. Transfer the dish to the oven and bake for 12-18 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Once cooked, remove from the oven and squeeze juice from the remaining half lemon over the fish and vegetables. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
