Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pound cod fillets, cut in 4 portions
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt divided, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 bulb fennel, cored and thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 14.5-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley leaves, plus more to garnish
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  • Get ready. Preheat the oven to 350℉. Pat the cod dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Sauté the vegetables. Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet set over medium-low heat. Add the onion, fennel, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook, stirring, for 7 to 9 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add the garlic, stir, and cook for 1 minute, just until fragrant.
  • Make the sauce. Add the crushed tomatoes, olives, thyme, parsley, lemon zest, another 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
  • Bake the fish in the sauce. Nestle the cod fillets into the sauce, spooning a little over top. Transfer to the oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
  • Finish and serve. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with more chopped parsley and serve.
