Baked Cod

• 4 

  cod filets, about 1" thick

• Kosher salt

• Freshly ground black pepper

• 4 tbsp. 

  extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for baking dish

• ****1 c. 

  cherry tomatoes ( I used I cup drained petite tomatoes)

• 1 

  lemon, sliced, plus more for garnish

• 2 

  garlic cloves, smashed but not peeled

• 2 

  sprigs thyme***(I used 3/4 dried thyme)

• 2 tbsp. 

  freshly chopped parsley, for garnish(I used 1 tsp. Dried parsley)

1. Preheat the oven to 400° and pat cod filets with a paper towel until dry. Season all over with salt and pepper. 
2. Step 2Combine olive oil, cherry tomatoes, lemon slices, garlic, and thyme in a 9"-x-13" baking dish. Toss to coat and spread into an even layer. Nestle cod pieces into baking dish. 
3. Step 3Bake until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on thickness of filets. 
4. Step 4Serve garnished with parsley, more lemon juice, and pan sauce.

Dessert too!

Tip:

I placed the lemon slices under the fish. The fish will not stick to the bottom and the lemon will seep into the fish.
