Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cod fillets (about 5 ounces each)
- ½ lemon
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- ⅓ cup pitted kalamata olives (coarsely chopped)

- ⅓ cup diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- chopped fresh parsley (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Pat cod fillets dry and place them in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Squeeze some lemon juice (about ½ of a lemon) over the fish, then evenly sprinkle on the sweet paprika and season generously with salt and pepper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, green olives, red onion, olive oil, garlic and dried oregano. Stir gently to combine.
