Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
Pat the cod fillets dry using a paper towel. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.
Lay a slice of prosciutto flat on a clean surface, and wrap it tightly around each cod fillet. Ensure the ends of the prosciutto are underneath the fish so it stays secure while baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, smashed garlic cloves, and 2 sprigs of rosemary. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the lemon zest. Toss well to coat.
Spread the tomato-olive mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Nestle the prosciutto-wrapped cod fillets on top of the mixture, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the cod and squeeze the juice of half the lemon over everything.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The prosciutto should be slightly crisp.
Remove the dish from the oven, and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Squeeze the remaining lemon juice over the fish for added brightness.
Serve the roasted cod with the tomato and olive mixture alongside. Garnish with additional rosemary if desired. Enjoy!
