Ingredients
- 3 Lemons
- 1/2 small Red Onion peeled and sliced very thin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Green Olives pitted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons Capers drained
- 1¼ cups Olive Oil
- 8 6-ounce pieces Cod Fillets
- 1/4 cup Parsley chopped, optional
Instructions
- Finely grate the zest from 2 of the lemons into a small bowl and set aside. Using a sharp knife slice the ends off of each of the lemons then cut the peel and white pith from the lemons; discard. Cut between the membranes to release the lemon segments into the bowl with the zest, discard the leftover membranes. Slice the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl.
- In a separate small bowl add the sliced onion and sprinkle the salt on top, let sit for 10 minutes.
- Add the chopped olives, capers, and 3/4 cup of olive oil to the bowl with the lemon segment, toss to combine and cover for 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours refrigerated. If relish is chilled bring to room temperature before using in cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 250℉.
- Place the cod in a large shallow baking dish or oven-safe skillet and drizzle with the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil. Turn the fish to coat and season with additional salt if desired. Roast until cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Set the cooked fish on a serving platter or individual plates and spoon relish over the fish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
