Celery Free Mediterranean Baked Cod with Olives and Tomatoes

Bright cherry tomatoes, briny Kalamata olives, and punchy capers come together in a sizzling skillet to create a sauce that practically begs to be soaked up with crusty bread. The cod fillets get rubbed down with a warm spice blend of smoked paprika, cumin, and turmeric before nestling right into that bubbling tomato base, so every bite is deeply flavored all the way through. A squeeze of fresh lemon over the top before it goes into the oven lifts everything and keeps the fish tasting clean and bright. The whole thing goes from stovetop to oven in one skillet, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying dinner. Every ingredient here is naturally free of celery and celery derivatives — no hidden aromatics, no sneaky seasoning blends, just straightforward whole-food cooking you can feel confident about. It's the kind of weeknight dinner that looks and tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did, finished with a scatter of fresh parsley and lemon wedges right at the table.
