Lately my kids have been all about eating cod. And if my kids are on a roll with eating healthy fish, then I’m going to ride that train for as long as I can! So today’s Weight Watchers fish recipe is a Baked Cod with Olive and Tomato Tapenade that is truly incredible. The briny olives combined with the warm, acidic tomatoes makes for a delicious, yet light topping for the mild cod fish. Plus, the fish cooks so quickly, so this dinner can be put together with minimal time, which makes my life much easier during hectic weeknights. If you want to make your own olive tapenade, you can. But I like to keep things easy and just buy it pre made. Trader Joe’s has a good one – it’s in the refrigerated section. But many stores also offer a lot of jarred options too, which can be found where the cans of olives are. At a mere 4 Points per serving, this Weight Watchers Recipe has become one of my favorites!
