Cod Provencal

Chef Kate's Note:

Light, healthy and easy. The saute part can be done in advance. I add some anchovies with the onions and garlic and let them dissolve into the vegetable mix. I also use fresh oregano when possible.

Made this simple cod dish with only a few changes (dried basil and black olives, since I didn't have any Greek olives). It was delicious, colorful, and light!

Great recipe! Very flavorful and fast. I added the anchovies and I used fresh oregano as Chef kate suggested. The lemon makes the sauce perfect for fish.
