Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cod fillets
- 6 leaves fresh bay leaves
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the cod fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the fillets with sea salt and black pepper.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Cut the lemon into wedges.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto a baking dish large enough to hold the cod fillets in a single layer. Scatter the garlic slices and fresh bay leaves across the bottom of the dish.
Place the seasoned cod fillets on top of the bay leaves and garlic. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the fillets.
Scatter the cherry tomatoes around the cod fillets and squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the entire dish. Reserve the other half of the lemon for serving.
Roast the cod in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and discard the bay leaves. Garnish the cod and tomatoes with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the roasted bay-scented cod with the roasted cherry tomatoes and a wedge of lemon on the side.
