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.
