Ingredients

  • 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cans cannellini beans (or other white beans, 15 oz), drained, rinsed
  • 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
  • 2 tbsp capers, drained
  • 2 lemon, zested, then sliced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine 2 cans drained, rinsed cannellini beans (or other white beans, 15 oz), 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup halved pitted Kalamata olives, 2 tbsp drained capers, 5 thinly sliced garlic cloves, most of the 5 tbsp olive oil (reserving 1 tablespoon for the fish), 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, lemon zest from the 2 lemon, and half the 1 tsp kosher salt. Spread this mixture on a large rimmed baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Roast the bean mixture in the oven for 10 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.

  4. 4

    Pat the 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each) dry and season with the remaining kosher salt. Nestle the fish on top of the bean mixture. Drizzle the reserved olive oil over the fish and lay a few lemon slices on top.

  5. 5

    Return the pan to the oven and roast for 12-15 minutes until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F.

  6. 6

    Scatter 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley over the pan. Squeeze any remaining lemon slices over the fish and serve directly from the pan.

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within two days (seafood turns fast). Reheat covered in a 300 F oven until warmed through.

Can I halve or double Sheet Pan Cod with White Beans and Tomatoes?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
