Ingredients

  • 400 g cod fillet

  • olive oil

  • a handful of Sicilian green olives (crush by a knife and remove the stones) 

  • 1 Tbsp capers

  • juice of one lemon

  • Lemon Panko Gremolata:
  • 1 cup Panko crumbs

  • 1/2 cup chopped flat leaf parsley

  • 1 Tbsp grated organic lemon zest (I use fragrant Meyer lemon)

  • salt

  • freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C.
  • Drizzle the bottom of a casserole dish with olive oil.
    Pat dry the cod fillet well and place in a single layer. Season with a little salt and pepper. Keep in mind, the olives, capers and gremolata are pretty salty. Drizzle the fish with olive oil and squeeze of fresh lemon. Bake for about 20 minutes or until easily flaked. Baking time will depend on the thickness of the cod.
  • Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for gremolata in a food processor and mix until fine fragrant crumbs.
  • Remove the fish from the oven. Add olives and capers, sprinkle with panko gremolata.
  • Preheat the broiler. Place a casserole back in the oven to continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes under the broiler.
  • Serve immediately with lemon wedges and fennel salad.
