Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 4- ounce cod filets thawed if frozen
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled and minced (or garlic powder)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 pound baby gold potatoes halved
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 6 ounces green olives pitted and torn in half
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons cold butter cubed
  • Fennel pollen and chili flakes optional for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the potatoes:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a wide pot over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the tomatoes and olives and toss to combine. Add the garlic or garlic powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Season again with salt and pepper. Arrange the vegetables in an even layer and transfer them to the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Roast the cod:

  • Remove the pot from the oven. Arrange the cod on top and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Return the pot back to the oven and bake for an additional 8-12 minutes until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Prepare the balsamic butter sauce:

  • Meanwhile, add the balsamic vinegar to a saucepan and turn the heat to medium-high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium, and rapid-simmer for 5-7 minutes or until reduced by half.
  • Whisk in a few cubes of butter at a time, whisking after each addition, until the sauce is thick and all the butter has been incorporated. Taste and season with salt. Remove from heat.

To serve:

  • Divide the potatoes and tomatoes between shallow bowls and place a cod filet on top. Drizzle with the balsamic butter sauce. Sprinkle with fennel pollen and silk chili if you like. Enjoy!
