Provençal Cod with Tomatoes, Capers and Olives 🍅🐟

Ingredients:

• 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
• 2 tbsp capers, rinsed
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tsp dried thyme (or 2 tsp fresh thyme)
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Tomato Mixture:
   • In a large bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, minced garlic, olive oil, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
3. Assemble the Dish:
   • Place the cod fillets in a baking dish. Pour the tomato mixture over the fish, making sure to spread it evenly over the fillets.
4. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The tomatoes should be blistered and the juices will create a flavorful sauce.
5. Serve:
   • Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of flavor.

Serving Suggestions:

Pair this dish with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce or serve it over a bed of rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
