Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes (about 4 cups)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 fresh lemon, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well coated and spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until softened.
  4. While the tomatoes are roasting, pat the cod fillets dry and drizzle with the remaining olive oil, seasoning both sides with salt and pepper.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, push the tomatoes to the sides, and place the cod fillets in the center. Arrange lemon slices over the cod.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the cod is opaque and flakes easily.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately, spooning tomato juices over the cod.

Notes
