Seared Fish Fillet with Herb-Roasted Vegetables and Olive Tapenade
Enjoy a beautifully balanced dinner featuring a delicate seared cod fillet paired with a medley of herb-roasted vegetables and a vibrant olive tapenade. The dish is lightly seasoned and roasted to bring out the natural sweetness of the vegetables, while the tangy, briny tapenade adds a burst of Mediterranean flair.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Cod Fillet
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 small Red Onion
1 tbsp Olive Oil (for roasting vegetables)
4 Kalamata Olives
1 tsp Capers
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Extra Olive Oil (in tapenade)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Prepare the vegetables: slice the zucchini into half-moons, dice the red bell pepper, and cut the red onion into thin wedges.
Toss the vegetables in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season lightly with salt, pepper, and your favorite dried herbs (such as oregano or thyme). Spread them out on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
While the vegetables roast, pat the cod fillet dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cod fillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until it forms a golden crust and is just cooked through.
In a small bowl, prepare the olive tapenade by finely chopping the Kalamata olives, capers, and garlic. Stir in the lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of extra olive oil. Mix until well combined.
Plate the seared cod fillet alongside the roasted vegetables, and spoon the olive tapenade over the fish or serve it on the side for dipping.
Enjoy your balanced, Mediterranean-inspired dinner!
