Oven baked Mediterranean cod dinner

oven baked Mediterranean cod dinner

This oven baked Mediterranean cod dinner is a flavorful and healthy option.  It really is the best baked cod. The fish is cooked with potatoes and tomato in a rich wine sauce. This complete cod dinner is ready in less than thirty minutes, is made in one pan and the fish comes out perfectly tender with a golden flaky exterior while the inside remains moist and flavorful.  The seasonings enhances the natural taste, and the fish practically falls apart at the touch of a fork.

Tips for making this oven baked Mediterranean cod dinner

  1. Season generously. Mediterranean flavors thrive on bold seasonings. Use plenty of a good quality olive oil, and a mixture of fresh and dry  herbs. Be sure to season the fish generously fish can be bland and needs to be seasoned well.
  2. Don’t overcook the fish. Cod  can dry out easily if overbaked. that’s why we cook the potatoes and tomatoes first before adding the fish.
  3. Add different vegetables. Mediterranean dishes often incorporate vegetables roasting them alongside the cod. I used potatoes and tomatoes. You can add zucchini or broccoli. Roasting them with the fish allows them to absorb the same flavors, creating a delicious and healthy  well-flavored dish.
