This cod recipe is healthy and flavorful, bursting with healthy fats and lots of strong flavors. Because cod is a mild yet meaty white fish, it takes on the flavors of ingredients in the dish. In this recipe, olives, sundried tomatoes, garlic and white wine provide savory bursts of flavor. I serve this dish a bright green vegetable such as sautéed Brussels sprouts in garlic and olive oil, or just wilted kale.
