Baked Cod with Tomato & Olive Relish

 Baked Cod with Tomato & Olive Relish
Ingredients
4 cod fillets (about 5–6 oz each)
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
¼ small red onion, finely diced
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Pat the cod fillets dry and place them in the prepared dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, olives, red onion, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, and remaining olive oil.
Spoon the tomato-olive relish generously over and around the cod.
Bake for 12–16 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and feta, if using. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Tip: Serve with roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a simple Greek salad for a complete Mediterranean-style meal.
