Print Recipe

This quick, colorful and nutritious weeknight dinner is a great way to encourage your family to eat more fish.  This has super quick and easy cleanup. You can just dump the foil packet onto your plate and throw away the foil and you’re done.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound small Yukon gold potatoes, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt
  • 4 skinless center-cut wild cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
  • 1 15–ounce can cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Toss the potatoes, onion and garlic with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Put the cod on a plate; drizzle with the lemon juice and season with salt, pepper and the thyme.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Tear off four 16-inch sheets of tin foil. Make the packets. Arrange about one-quarter of the potato mixture on one sheet of foil; top with a cod fillet and about one-quarter each of the olives and tomatoes (along with some liquid from the can). Drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Seal packets by folding top over. Repeat to make 3 more packets; divide between 2 baking sheets.
  3. Transfer to the oven and bake until the liquid is bubbling, about 25 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before opening.
  4. Meanwhile, mix the butter, chives, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Carefully open the packets; top with the chive butter. Enjoy!
