Italian-Style Cod

This Italian-style cod dish is a delightful and hearty meal, featuring tender cod fillets nestled on a bed of juicy tomatoes, briny black olives, and flavorful capers. Baked on a layer of golden, thinly sliced potatoes, this casserole is infused with Italian herbs and a splash of white wine for a rich, aromatic experience. 

Ingredients (for 4-6 servings):

  • 1½ pounds cod fillets
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup black olives, pitted and halved
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 2 tbsp capers, drained
  • 1½ lb potatoes, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the thinly sliced potatoes with 1 tbsp of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in a large casserole dish.
  3. Bake the potatoes for 20-25 min., or until they are starting to turn golden and are partially cooked.
  4. In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is softened, about 3-4 min.
  5. Add the cherry tomatoes, black olives, dried oregano, dried basil, and white wine. Cook for about 5 min., stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to break down and the mixture is fragrant. Stir in the capers.
  6. Season the cod fillets with salt and black pepper. Place the partially baked potatoes in the casserole dish, spreading them out to form an even layer. Pour the tomato and olive mixture over the potatoes.
  7. Lay the cod fillets on top of the tomato and olive mixture. Drizzle a little olive oil over the cod and sprinkle with additional salt and black pepper if desired.
  8. Return the casserole dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 min. or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  9. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top of the dish before serving. Serve with lemon wedges on the side, and enjoy!
