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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Cut the lemon into wedges.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Place the seasoned cod fillets on top of the bay leaves and garlic. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the fillets.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Roast the cod in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and discard the bay leaves. Garnish the cod and tomatoes with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve the roasted bay-scented cod with the roasted cherry tomatoes and a wedge of lemon on the side.
