Method
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Pat the cod fillets dry and place them in the baking dish in a single layer.
- In a small bowl, stir together the Signature Seafood Infused Olive Oil Blend, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and dried dill.
- Spoon the olive oil mixture evenly over the cod, then scatter the cherry tomatoes and capers around the fish.
- Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs over the top for a light golden finish.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the cod flakes easily with a fork and the tomatoes have softened.
- Top with chopped parsley and serve right away with the pan juices spooned over each portion.
Notes
For the best texture, avoid crowding the baking dish. If your cod fillets are very thick, add 2 to 3 minutes to the bake time. The olive oil mixture can be stirred together a few minutes ahead, but wait to spoon it over the fish until just before baking.

- Use cod fillets of similar thickness so they bake at the same pace.
- Pat the fish dry before seasoning so the topping stays bright and flavorful.
- Check for doneness a minute or two early if your fillets are on the thinner side.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve over rice, couscous, or crusty bread to catch the olive oil and pan juices.
- Pair with roasted asparagus, green beans, or a simple side salad.
- Add extra lemon wedges at the table for a fresh finish.
Storage
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in a low oven so the cod stays tender.
- For best texture, avoid overheating when warming individual portions.
Variations
- Swap cod for haddock or halibut if you prefer another firm white fish.
- Add thin sliced fennel to the baking dish for a sweeter coastal note.
- Stir a pinch of red pepper flakes into the olive oil mixture for a little extra lift.
