Toss them gently in a large mixing bowl to create a colorful and healthy Kalamata olives dinner.

Once your Baked Cod with Olives (or halibut) is ready, let it rest for a couple of minutes before plating. Top each fillet with an equal portion of the vegetable mixture and garnish with fresh parsley for that perfect Fin-tastic Feast for four.
