Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Place the 2 fresh cod fish fillets on the prepared tray, spaced apart.
Lay the 2 garlic cloves (sliced) on top of the fillets. Season the fillets with a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Drizzle the 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil evenly over the fillets.
Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon thyme leaves over the fillets and scatter the handful of cherry tomatoes around the fish. If you want a small amount of thyme for garnish, set aside a few leaves before sprinkling.
Let the fish sit to marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the fillets and tomatoes to plates, garnish with the reserved thyme leaves (if set aside) and the lemon wedge, and serve immediately.
