Method

01Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking dish with parchment paper.

02Pat cod fillets completely dry with paper towels and place in the prepared baking dish. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

03Mix softened butter with minced garlic, lemon zest, fresh parsley, and thyme in a small bowl.

04Spread the herb butter over the top of each cod fillet.

05Scatter cherry tomatoes around the fish in the baking dish. Drizzle everything with olive oil.

06Bake 12 to 15 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout. Thickness will determine exact time.

07Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything just before serving. Garnish with extra fresh parsley.
