Ingredients
- 2 garlic cloves (crushed)
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh oregano leaves (or 1½ teaspoons dried)
- 1½ tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup ouzo (optional, but highly recommended for authentic flavor)
- 1 tsp Himalayan pink salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Nonstick olive or coconut oil cooking spray
- ½ cup finely chopped red onion
- 10 kalamata olives (pitted and finely chopped)
- 1 lb fresh cod fillets
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the crushed garlic, olive oil, oregano, lemon juice, ouzo (if using), salt, and black pepper. Add the cod fillets, ensuring they are well-coated in the marinade. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Transfer the marinated cod fillets to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the finely chopped red onion and kalamata olives evenly over the fish.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The cod should be tender, juicy, and slightly golden.
- Serve hot, ideally with a side of Kaniwa tabbouli or a fresh Greek salad for an authentic Mediterranean experience.
