Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs cod fillets
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Method

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking dish with parchment paper. 2. Pat cod fillets completely dry with paper towels and place in the prepared baking dish. Season both sides with salt and pepper. 3. Mix softened butter with minced garlic, lemon zest, fresh parsley, and thyme in a small bowl. 4. Spread the herb butter over the top of each cod fillet. 5. Scatter cherry tomatoes around the fish in the baking dish. Drizzle everything with olive oil. 6. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout. Thickness will determine exact time. 7. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything just before serving. Garnish with extra fresh parsley.
