Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) scrod fillets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 cup black olives, pitted and sliced
• 2 tablespoons capers, drained
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or a thin layer of olive oil and set aside.

Step 2

Pat the scrod fillets dry with paper towels and lightly season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Place the fillets in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.

Step 5

Pour the dry white wine into the skillet and stir. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the black olives, capers, lemon zest, and fresh thyme leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 7

Spoon the tomato-olive mixture evenly over the scrod fillets in the baking dish.

Step 8

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

Garnish the dish with fresh parsley just before serving. Serve hot, paired with crusty bread, rice, or a light salad for a complete meal.
