One Pan Mediterranean Cod
I’m always looking for easy new ways of preparing fish and it seems like a lot of you are too. When I asked on Instagram if you had any requests for Whole30in30 dishes fish was by far the most suggested thing.

Mediterranean Cod
I think you are really going to like this easy one pan Mediterranean cod dish. The sauce is stew like with tomatoes, peppers, olives and herbs. The cod is quickly seared and then returned to the pan for just a few more minutes of cooking once the vegetables have softened.

Mediterranean Cod
Feel free to swap the cod for another meaty white fish like halibut, Hake or tilapia. If you aren’t a fan of fish you could swap it for prawns or even chicken breasts that you will have to simmer for awhile longer in the sauce to ensure they are cooked through.

Although this Whole30 cod dish is fantastic on its own, for a heartier meal you could serve it with cauliflower rice or mash to absorb some of the delicious sauce.

    I made this one dish Mediterranean Fish recipe last night. I was amazed with how good it was. Only thing I did different, on the way to the olive aisle I spotted a 5oz container of Greek olives and feta chunks and an olive oil sauce. I dumped the whole 5oz in with the tomatoes and it worked perfectly. Thank you a recipe that will be used many times more.

  7. Jessica says:

    at some point you remove the fish from the pan. When is that?

  8. Janny says:

    Thanks very much for the recipe. It was delicious and fairly easy to make. I made it with some minor changes e.g. used fresh tomatoes and rice vinegar, and had to do without olives, and it turned out very well. Even better the next day (added more tomatoes and prawns and scallops). Your recipes all look so good. Glad to have found your site.

  9. Jen Fisher says:

    This recipe is easy and absolutely DELICIOUS. My husband said it’s one we should serve when we have company.
    I served it over slightly roasted zucchini planks.

    Wow! This is the best dish I’ve made in quite a while. I added a few more olives, but otherwise followed the recipe. I’m alone in Covid times and wishing I could share it with someone! I’ll be making this again and again.
