How to Make Mediterranean Cod

  1. Rinse the cod fillets and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  2. Season both sides of the cod fillets generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Heat 4 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, until softened slightly.
  5. Add the cod fillets to the skillet and cook for 1 minute per side, until lightly browned.
  6. Top each cod fillet with 1/4 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of Kalamata olives, and a sprig of fresh thyme.
  7. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
  8. Cover the skillet and cook for 2 minutes.
  9. Drizzle the remaining 4 teaspoons of olive oil over the cod and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil.
  10. Cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately.
