Ingredients
Scale
- 500 grams of cod fillets (about 4 fillets)
- 500 grams of cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 4 sprigs of fresh thyme
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a large baking dish, spread the chopped onions, minced garlic, and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently.
- Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the cod for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the seared cod to the baking dish over the vegetables. Sprinkle fresh thyme and drizzle lemon juice on top.
- Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and tomatoes are soft.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of extra lemon juice if desired.
Notes
For dietary restrictions, you can substitute cod with other white fish. Fresh herbs deliver better flavor than dried.
