Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds cod fillet
  • 1 small red onion OR large shallot, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 pound cherry tomatoes halved
  • ¼ cup sliced black olives
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup white wine OR water
  • 4 tablespoons butter chopped

Notes

  • Cod: This recipe works well with any white fish that cooks in 15-20 minutes; thicker fillets are best.
  • Tomatoes: Regular tomatoes can replace cherry tomatoes; remove some seeds and dice to avoid watery dish.
  • Red onion: Omit if sensitive.
  • Olives: Can be left out; capers or green olives are good alternatives.
  • Butter: Adds richness and moisture but can be halved or skipped; brush fish with olive oil if omitted.
  • White wine: Optional, water can be used instead.
  • Tips: Lightly oil the baking dish to prevent sticking and place skin-side down if using skin-on fillets.
  • Cook fish until internal temperature is 145°F or flesh is opaque and flakes easily.
