How to Make Cod Fillets With Orange And Cracked Green Olive Salsa

**Salsa Preparation:**
Zest one orange and set aside 1 teaspoon of zest for the fish.
Peel the orange, ensuring all pith is removed.
Dice the peeled orange into 1/4-inch pieces (approximately 1 cup).
In a medium bowl, combine the diced orange, 1/2 cup cracked green olives, 2 tablespoons chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Cover and refrigerate the salsa for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
Remove the salsa from the refrigerator 15-20 minutes before serving.
**Cod Preparation:**
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a large, shallow baking dish.
Season two 6-ounce cod fillets on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the reserved 1 teaspoon orange zest and 1 teaspoon lemon zest over the fish.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the fish.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook.
Remove the cod from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
Spoon the chilled salsa and any pan juices over the cod fillets.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
