Whether or not you’re an avid internet user, you’ve likely at least heard of the Baked Feta Pasta that made its way into the homes of millions after going viral on social media.

Featuring a combination of tomatoes, feta and noodles, it’s a simple dish that really is quite tasty, but it’s about to get better with few more flavorful add-ins.

Baked Feta Cod Ingredients

I believe that the one thing this fan-favorite recipe lacks is protein. Chicken would taste great, but to keep this recipe simple and light, I opted to remove the carb-heavy pasta and add Heinen’s frozen wild cod fillets. They can be found in the freezer case of the Seafood Department and come in bags of single-wrapped fillets for easy use and storage.

Thawed and nestled into a bed of cherry tomatoes, green peppers, red onions, feta, Kalamata olives and loads of fresh seasonings and spices, this dish is full of good-for-you color and flavor.
