 Connie Carbonara says:
This is absolutely the best cod recipe I have ever used! The only thing I did different was baked it about 20 minutes, otherwise be sure to follow the recipe exactly as is.. Oops, I also used sliced black pearl olives instead of whole ones. Thank you!

Excellent! My piece of cod was thick so it baked a little longer - very good recipe, thank you!

move it around towards Morocco by substituting 1/4 tsp cumin for the oregano; serve with couscous.
