2. Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Rub cod with 2 teaspoons oil. Sprinkle with pepper. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and roast until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until beginning to soften, about 20 seconds. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add olives and capers; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds more. Stir in oregano and vinegar; remove from heat. Spoon the tapenade over the cod to serve.

Yield: 4 servings

3. Still Hungry?

The Mediterranean flavors of a warm tomato tapenade will brighten all kinds of white fish as well as chicken. Make It a Meal: Orzo and sauteed spinach will round out this meal.

Ingredient Note

Overfishing and trawling have drastically reduced the number of cod in the Atlantic Ocean and destroyed its sea floor. A better choice is Pacific cod (aka Alaska cod); it is more sustainably fished and has a larger, more stable population, according to Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch (www.mbayaq.org/cr/seafoodwatch.asp).

  • Great dish

    I used Tilapia instead of cod, and it turned out great. Very easy. I would be reluctant to substitute out the fresh herbs and vegetables as the other reviewer suggested-- it was this freshness that I liked the most!

  • Works with substitutions too

    I made this with:
    - onions instead of shallots
    - can of diced tomatoes instead of fresh
    - store-bought olive tapenade
    - dried oregano instead of fresh
    - white roughy instead of cod

    ... and it still turned out scrumptious. This would be great on pasta too. Will be making it again.

  • Pizzaiola

    I love this recipe, tapenade is the French version of Italian Pizzaiola. You can use this sauce for stakes to pasta.
