Ingredients

6 ounce cod fillets (flaked)
1 Russet potato (medium, peeled, diced into 1/2-inch cubes)
1 tablespoon olive oil
0.5 yellow onion (small, thinly sliced)
2 clove garlic (minced)
0.25 cup frozen peas
2 eggs (large, lightly beaten)
0.25 cup black olives (pitted, sliced)
2 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Place the diced Russet potato in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 tablespoon of water. Cover and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, or until just tender. Drain any excess water.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced yellow onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Add the pre-cooked Russet potato to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
Stir in the flaked cod fillets and frozen peas. Cook for 2-3 minutes, gently breaking up the fish.
Pour the lightly beaten eggs over the mixture in the skillet. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still creamy, about 2 minutes. Stir in the sliced black olives, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For best texture, use fresh cod. If using frozen, ensure it is fully thawed and patted dry before cooking.
