Ingredients
  

  • 4 5-6 ounce cod fillets or other firm white fish
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to coat baking dish
  • 5 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced or pressed through a garlic presser
  • 2/3 cup dry white wine like pinot grigio
  • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 10 ounces organic cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • 2 cups mixed green and black brine-cured olives, pitted
  • 1/4 tsp table salt (for the tomato mixture)
  • A pinch of salt to season the fish
  • fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Add the olive oil to a large sauce pot over medium-high heat and allow to heat up for a couple minutes. Carefully toss in the cherry tomatoes and stir for 60 seconds.
  • Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, and allow the tomatoes to simmer until they begin to soften and burst, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic, olives, salt, and thyme leaves, stir well, and remove from the heat.
  • Coat the bottom of a large baking dish with a thin layer of olive oil. Season the cod fillets on both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper and place them in the baking dish. Pour the tomato and olive mixture over the fish.
  • Place it in the oven and allow it to cook until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F at it's thickest part. This takes anywhere from 12-25 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the fish, so make sure you are checking. When the fish flakes easily, it is ready to check.
  • To serve, transfer the fish to a plate or shallow serving bowl and spoon about 4-6 ounces of tomato mixture around the fish. Sprinkle with feta cheese and enjoy!
