Go to the market and get a piece of codfish.

Gather onions, parsley, tomatoes, green peppers, garlic, thyme, oregano, olives, capers, and white wine.

Place the codfish in a baking dish, ensuring the back is red and the front is white.

Add herbs to the bottom of the baking dish before placing the fish on top.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Slice the onions and add them to the baking dish with the herbs.

Smash garlic and add it to the mixture.

Chop fresh tomatoes and add them to the mixture.

Add capers to the mixture.

Pour about a cup of white wine into the mixture.

Add kalamata olives to the mixture.

Add chicken stock to the mixture to ensure there is enough liquid.

Cook the mixture on the stove to evaporate some of the wine, then turn off the heat.

Pour the mixture over the fish in the baking dish.

Place the baking dish in the oven and cook for about 25 minutes.

Check if the fish is ready; it should be surrounded by sauce.
