Gut Friendly Mediterranean Baked Cod with Olives and Tomatoes

Bright cherry tomatoes, briny Kalamata olives, and capers come together in a bubbling skillet sauce that practically begs to be soaked up with crusty bread — and nestled right in the middle of it all is flaky, perfectly cooked cod. The spice rub of smoked paprika, cumin, and turmeric gives the fish a warm, golden crust that looks stunning and tastes even better. This kind of one-skillet bake is a dream for anyone focused on keeping their gut happy, since every ingredient here is whole, recognizable, and free from the processed additives that can quietly wreak havoc on digestion. Olive oil, fresh garlic, and tomatoes bring polyphenols and anti-inflammatory compounds to the table, while the lean white fish delivers clean protein that's easy on the digestive system. A squeeze of fresh lemon and a handful of chopped parsley at the end keep the flavors lively and bright without any heavy sauces or dairy. The whole thing goes from stovetop to oven in one pan, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying your meal.
