Cod with Potatoes, Cherry Tomatoes & Olives
Recipe
Serves 4
Ingredients:
800 gr Cod (unsalted – if you use salted make sure to follow the draining process that takes 2 days)
2 Large Potatoes (about 2 ½- 3 Cups) Julienne style
1 Large Yellow Onion
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
2 generous cups chopped Cherry Tomatoes
¾ Cups Black Olives – (de-boned & chopped / some whole as you wish)
A handful of Flat Leaf Parsley
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Breadcrumbs (go by handful)
Coarse Sea Salt
Fresh Black Pepper
*Butter to grease your pan
How To:
1. Preheat the oven at 400 degrees.
2. Sliver your potatoes and onions. Then cut in half your cherry tomatoes. You can chop the olives or leave them whole (I prefer mixing them)
3. Grease a large baking dish and sprinkle it with breadcrumbs.
4. Arrange a layer of potatoes with a generous grind of fresh pepper. Then sprinkle half the diced tomatoes, half the onion, the garlic clove, a handful of chopped parsley, a drizzle of olive oil and half the olives.
5. Arrange the cod in pieces, a grind of pepper and drizzle of oil. Cover with the remaining potatoes, tomatoes, a pinch of sea salt, a grind of pepper, parsley and the remaining black olives. Sprinkle with more breadcrumbs.
6. Bake for 1 hour. Serve with a drizzle of fresh Olive Oil.
I love this dish. Cod is many times underrated and that is because it is always served fried. If you want a twist to your weekly salmon, or want to impress your guests, give this a try; it is easy to make, savory and healthy.
Enjoy!
