Ingredients

Start to finish 25 minutes


Directions

1 pound cod fillet

3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1 tablespoon minced shallot

1 cup halved cherry tomatoes

1/4 cup chopped cured olives

1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped

1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Preheat oven to 450 F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

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.

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 sauce over the cod to serve. Makes 4 servings.
