Cod with olives and Provencal herbs is the embodiment of southern France in one dish. Tender cod fillet baked in foil with a fragrant dressing of olive oil, white wine, garlic, and traditional Provencal herbs acquires a rich, refined taste. The combination of olives, parsley, and mustard adds zest while cherry tomatoes and green beans complement the dish with freshness and lightness. This recipe is perfect for a light yet exquisite dinner, allowing you to enjoy Mediterranean flavors without complicated preparations. The fish retains its juiciness due to baking in foil while the herb-infused juices soak into the vegetables making them incredibly aromatic. The dish pairs wonderfully with white wine and fresh baguette creating an atmosphere of a Provençal feast filled with sunshine, herbal aromas, and leisurely conversations.
