BAKED COD WITH OLIVES
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.

ROASTED FISH WITH LEEKS AND OLIVE SALSA VERDE
Leeks show their gentle side in this speedy weeknight fish recipe. A lemony olive salsa verde adds brightness to the dish, while red-pepper flakes bring some heat. Serve this with rice, polenta or crusty bread to soak up the tangy-sweet juices. For a richer, more full-flavored variation, try salmon or tuna fillets instead of milder white fish.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Season fish all over with salt and pepper, and set aside while you prepare the leeks.
- Cut the leeks into matchsticks: Place a leek half, flat side down, on a cutting board and cut it in half crosswise. Then slice the pieces lengthwise into thin (1/4-inch-thick) matchsticks. Repeat with remaining leeks.
- Spread leeks out on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly drizzle them with oil and a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Push aside the leeks to create 4 spaces in the center of the sheet pan just large enough for the fish fillets, then place the fillets in those cleared spaces. (Avoid putting the fish on top of the leeks, which won't cook as well if they're covered.)
- Drizzle fish with oil. Roast until the fish is opaque and just cooked through but not yet flaky, about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of fish. The leeks surrounding the fish will be soft and silky, while those at the edges of the pan may turn delightfully brown and crisp in spots. If the fish is done but you think the leeks need a little more time, transfer the fish to a serving platter, tent with foil to keep warm, and continue to cook the leeks for another few minutes.
- While the fish is in the oven, make the salsa verde: Using a fine rasp grater, grate 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest into a small bowl. Halve the lemon and squeeze in 1 tablespoon juice.
- Stir in olives, cilantro, garlic, red-pepper flakes and a pinch of salt. Slowly drizzle in oil, stirring to combine. Taste and add more salt, red-pepper or another squeeze of lemon, if needed.
- Place fish on plates and surround with leeks. Top with olive salsa verde.
BAKED COD WITH ORANGE, CAPER AND OLIVE SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500°F. Using vegetable peeler, remove peel and white pith from orange. Cut twenty 2-inch-long, 1/8-inch-wide strips from orange peel and reserve. Chop orange; place in small bowl. Add tomato and next 7 ingredients to chopped orange; stir to blend. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Spray 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray. Arrange cod in prepared dish. Sprinkle orange strips evenly over fish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until fish is opaque in center, about 10 minutes. Spoon sauce over fish.
Tips:
- Utilize Quality Ingredients: When selecting cod, ensure it's fresh, firm, and has a mild odor. Choose plump and juicy oranges for a vibrant citrus flavor. Use fresh herbs like oregano and thyme to enhance the dish's aroma.
- Achieve Perfect Crispiness: Sear the cod fillets skin side down in a hot pan with olive oil. This creates a crispy and golden-brown crust while maintaining a moist and flaky interior.
- Enhance with Salsa: Prepare a zesty and flavorful salsa using cracked green olives, capers, tomatoes, red onion, orange juice, and zest. This salsa adds a vibrant and tangy dimension to the cod.
- Balancing Flavors: Taste the salsa before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add a pinch of salt and pepper or a squeeze of lemon juice for a well-rounded flavor profile.
- Serve with Style: Plate the seared cod fillets and top with the vibrant orange and cracked green olive salsa. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an extra touch of color and freshness.
Conclusion:
This delectable dish combines the delicate flavors of cod, the bright acidity of oranges, and the savory notes of cracked green olives. The salsa adds a pop of color and a burst of flavor, making this dish a delightful and visually appealing meal. The combination of textures, from the crispy skin of the cod to the tender flesh and the tangy salsa, creates a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.
