Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • nonstick cooking spray

  • 1 1/2 pounds cod filets

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Greek seasoning

  • 1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives

  • 1/3 cup roughly chopped drained artichoke hearts in brine

  • 1/4 cup julienned drained sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or as needed

  • 4 fresh lemon wedges

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees F). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray with cooking spray.

  2. Pat fish filets dry with a paper towel. Place cod on the baking sheet, lightly coat the tops with olive oil, and sprinkle with Greek seasoning.

  3. In a small bowl, combine Kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice, and garlic. Evenly spoon the mixture over the filets.

  4. Bake until cod flakes easily with a fork, 14 to 16 minutes. The internal temperature, measured with an instant-read thermometer, should reach 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Baking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of filets.

  5. Carefully remove cod and topping to a serving dish using a large spatula. Garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately with a wedge of lemon.

    Cook’s Note

    Cod is very flaky, so to avoid breakage, use a large spatula, such as a fish spatula, to remove the fillets from the baking sheet. If you don’t have Greek seasoning (may be hard to find and expensive) on hand, there’s a good recipe on this site to make your own. Any firm white fish will work with this recipe.
