BAKED COD WITH OLIVES

Baked Cod with Olives image

The olive topping on our cod was inspired by tapenade; it includes olives, anchovies, capers, olive oil, and lemon juice. Use a ceramic or glass baking dish; an aluminum dish could react with the acidic lemon juice and discolor the fish.

Categories Very Low Carbs

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

4 (6 ounce) cod fish fillets
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 tablespoon dried thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 tablespoon orange zest

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Arrange cod fillets in a shallow baking dish.
Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
Pour over cod and bake for 12-15 minutes until fish is opaque throughout.
Spoon orange sauce over fish and serve with vegetables and rice.

Tips:

Use fresh cod fillets: Fresh cod fillets have a mild, flaky texture and a delicate flavor that pairs well with the orange-caper-olive sauce.
Season the cod fillets well: Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper before baking to enhance their flavor.
Cook the cod fillets until they are just cooked through: Overcooked cod fillets will become tough and dry, so it is important to cook them until they are just cooked through, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Make sure the sauce is hot before serving: The orange-caper-olive sauce should be hot when served, so make sure to heat it through before pouring it over the cod fillets.
Garnish the dish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or tarragon, can add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

This baked cod with orange-caper-olive sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cod fillets are flaky and tender, and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
