  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Pat fish dry with paper towels. Drizzle olive oil in a 9x13 baking dish. Add fish. Season liberally with salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Top evenly with tomatoes and oregano. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until cod is flaky and opaque.
  3. Once the pot of water is boiling, add orzo. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until tender. Drain and return to pot. When fish is just about done, stir pesto and goat cheese into the cooked orzo. Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper.
