Instructions
  1. 1

    Heat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).

  1. 2

    Build the veggie base

    Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the shallot, mince the garlic, and slice the olives. Pile them all into a 9x13 casserole dish, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat. Toss to combine.

  2. 3

    Roast the vegetables

    Slide the dish into the oven and roast for 15 minutes, until the tomatoes have softened and started to release their juices.

  3. 4

    Season the cod

    While the vegetables roast, pat the cod fillets dry on both sides with paper towels — this is what gives you tender, flaky fish instead of watery. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper.

  4. 5

    Add the cod and lemon

    Pull the dish out and nestle the cod fillets into the roasted vegetables. Slice the lemon and tuck a few slices in around the fish.

  5. 6

    Bake

    Return to the oven and bake for another 15 to 17 minutes, until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (about 140°F / 60°C at the thickest part). Cod cooks fast, so keep an eye on it.

  6. 7

    Serve

    Plate each fillet and spoon plenty of the roasted tomatoes, olives, and pan juices over the top. Finish with chopped fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon.
