Ingredients
- 2 lb. Alaskan cod
- 2 tsp. each onion+ garlic + paprika powder
- 3 medium peeled and thinly sliced potatoes
- 1 Tbsp. thyme and 1 Tbsp. rosemary
- 2 Tbsp. minced garlic divided
- 1 cup white wine
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup pitted kalamata olives
- 1/2 cup capers
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Peel the potatoes and slice them into even pieces so they cook evenly.
- Season the potatoes and tomatoes: Arrange the sliced potatoes in an oven-safe baking dish. Add the tomatoes, olives, and capers. Drizzle with olive oil and white wine, then sprinkle with the thyme, rosemary, and half the garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss gently to combine.
- Bake the vegetables: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes begin to soften and the tomatoes start to blister.
- Prepare the cod: Cut the cod into equal portions and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the onion, garlic, and paprika, then rub the mixture evenly over the fish fillets.
- Add the fish: Remove the baking dish from the oven and arrange the seasoned cod fillets over the potatoes and tomatoes.
- Finish baking: Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until the cod is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Serve: Spoon the potatoes, tomatoes, olives, capers, and pan juices around the cod. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
Cook the potatoes and tomatoes before adding the cod so the vegetables have time to soften. Cod cooks quickly, so bake it just until opaque and flaky, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F.
