Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives, and thinly sliced red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss to mix well and set aside.
2. In another bowl, toss arugula with a drizzle of olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
3. Pat cod fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add cod fillets and cook for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
4. Spread 1/4 cup of hummus on the bottom of each bowl. Top with the dressed arugula. Place a cod fillet on top of the arugula.
