Ingredients
- 4 pieces cod fillets
- 1 large lemon
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet or dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Step 4
Zest and juice the lemon, keeping the zest and juice separate. You will use both in the recipe.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, dill, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
Step 6
Using a brush or spoon, evenly coat each cod fillet with the lemon herb mixture, making sure the fillets are generously covered to enhance flavor.
Step 7
Slice the remaining half of the lemon into thin rounds and place these on top of each fillet.
Step 8
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and scatter them around the cod fillets on the baking sheet or dish.
Step 9
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the cherry tomatoes.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let the cod rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 12
Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve warm, paired with your choice of Whole30-compliant side dishes.
