Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 6-ounce snapper or black sea bass fillets, pin bones removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small white onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 bay leaves, preferably fresh

2 tablespoons capers in brine, drained
1 pound baby Yukon Gold or red-skinned potatoes, quartered
Chopped fresh cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Rub the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper; place skin-side down in the dish.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until softened, about 30 seconds. Add 1/2 teaspoon oregano and the bay leaves and stir to combine. Add the tomatoes, olives, capers and a pinch of salt and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.

EASY PAN-SEARED COD WITH LEMON, OLIVES AND CAPERS



Easy Pan-Seared Cod with Lemon, Olives and Capers image

A southern Mediterranean recipe for pan-seared fish, with bright, assertive flavors!

Provided by Marilena Leavitt

Categories     Seafood Main

Time 14m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pieces of cod, ¾"- 1" thick, (about 6 oz. each)
--- sea salt and freshly ground pepper
2-3 TBSP. olive oil (or, neutral oil)
½ medium lemon (zested and sliced)
1 garlic clove, finely minced
6 olives, black and green, chopped
1 TBSP. small capers, rinsed and dried
2 TBSP. tender celery leaves (or parsley)

Steps:

  • Pat dry the fish fillets very well, then season them generously with salt and pepper and set them aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the garlic, olives, and capers.
  • Zest the lemon and cut it into thin slices
  • Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. It should be large enough to accommodate the fish and the lemon slices. Add the olive oil and, when it gets hot, carefully lower the two fish fillets into the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Using a fish spatula, gently press the fillets against the skillet ensuring that the whole side of the fish is in contact with the heat (this is important especially when cooking fish with the skin still on - it ensures crispy skin). Let the fish cook for about three minutes and then shake the skillet gently to check if the fish releases from the pan. If it does not, let it cook for another 30 seconds (when the fillets form a crust, they will easily release from the pan). Flip the fish to the uncooked side, then add the lemon slices to the pan around the fillets. Cook the fish for two minutes more (the cooking time depends on the thickness of the fish and how well you want the fish cooked). With a fork, check the flesh of the fish to make sure it flakes easily. Flip the slices of lemon. Add the garlic mixture to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Transfer the fish to two plates and spoon the mixture of olives and capers over the fish. Sprinkle the fillets with the reserved lemon zest and celery leaves. Serve with extra lemon on the side.

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     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Unsalted butter, for baking dish
1/2 cup pitted brine-cured Kalamata olives, drained and chopped
2 teaspoons drained capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
2 anchovy fillets, rinsed, drained, and coarsely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, plus several thinly sliced lemon rounds, halved if large
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, plus small leaves for garnish
4 center-cut cod fillets (6 to 8 ounces and 1 inch thick each), skinned
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch nonreactive baking dish; set aside. Stir together olives, capers, anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, oil, and oregano in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Season fish with salt and pepper; place in baking dish. Scatter olive mixture evenly over fish. Top with lemon slices.
  • Cover dish with foil. Bake until fish is firm, flaky, and cooked through, 15 to 17 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Serve drizzled with juices from dish. Garnish with oregano leaves.

Tips:

- For the freshest fish, look for cod that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong odor. - If you don't have oranges on hand, you can substitute another citrus fruit, such as lemons or grapefruit. - Capers and olives add a salty, briny flavor to the sauce. If you don't like these ingredients, you can omit them or substitute another type of briny ingredient, such as anchovies or sun-dried tomatoes. - Serve the cod with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

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