How to Make Ancient Greek Fish With Coriander

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Toast 1 tablespoon of coriander seeds in a dry baking pan for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.
Let the toasted coriander seeds cool for 5 minutes.
Using a mortar and pestle, crush the toasted coriander seeds with 1 teaspoon of sea salt until finely ground.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar.
Gently dredge 2 (6-ounce) cod fillets in the olive oil and vinegar mixture.
Toss the cod fillets with the coriander and salt mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Cover the baking dish tightly with foil.
Bake the fish for 20-25 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven, drizzle with an additional teaspoon of red wine vinegar, and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh coriander sprigs (optional).
