Baked Cod with Tomatoes, Basil, Garlic and Lemon- a fast and easy weeknight dinner that is healthy and delicious!

Baked Cod with Burst Tomatoes 

olive oil,

red wine vinegar, or sherry vinegar

shallot, sliced

garlic cloves, rough chopped

salt

pepper

cherry or grape tomatoes

lemon – zest (set aside) and lemon slices

salt, pepper and Aleppo chili flakes

basil leaves

Pour 3 tablespoons olive oil and vinegar into a 9 x13 inch baking dish.  Scatter the shallots and garlic. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and lemon slices and toss. Roast 10 minutes. Give the tomatoes a good shake.

While tomatoes are roasting, pat the fish dry and brush with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper and Aleppo chili flakes. Nestle the fish in the baking dish,  between the tomatoes.

Bake the fish for  8-10 minutes then give the pan a good shake, jostling the tomatoes a bit.  Scatter with lemon zest. Bake 3-4 more minutes or until fish is cooked through to your liking.

When done, add the torn basil leaves, tossing them with the warm tomatoes with tongs so the basil wilts slightly.   Then garnish each piece of fish with a few wilted basil leaves.

Im so excited to try this. I'm new to cooking fish and this looks really easy and doable. Plus cod is so affordable where I live. Do you think frozen cod is ok to use?

Made this last night as I surprisingly had everything on hand. Used cherry tomatoes from my garden and frozen cod filets. Excellent! My family says "Make it again mom!". Thanks Sylvia for a simple tasty recipe.

Loved this! The lemon flavor was perfectly subtle and exactly right. We had it with your pesto zucchini noodles. Easy, cheap, and healthful. Thank you!

This was so delicious and beautiful! And dead simple. I’ve made it twice so far. I even love eating the slightly roasted lemon slices. I serve it with steamed zucchini. This is going into our regular rotation!

Substituted salmon for cod.  Simple and tasty, served it at a party as a second heavier entree and it worked well.

Made this tonight for the 1st time, PERFECT! I followed the instructions as given (maybe I added a little more garlic 😉) and the whole family loved it. Even my son who hates cooked tomatoes ate the whole thing! He said these were the only kind of cooked tomatoes he’d ever eat. Woah.. Perfectly cooked fish, light and flaky. Served over quinoa (another thing my sons not terribly fond of) and he still ate it all. Really simple but that’s what makes it great. So very delicious, 5+ stars. Thank you!!

This recipe is 10/10. It was affordable, easy to make, healthy and most importantly, delicious! Definitely a recipe to add to your repertoire!

Very good.  I’d recommend piercing the tomatoes before cooking.  Since I didn’t have fresh basil, I sprinkled the cod with crab seasoning.

So glad I found this dish makes the fish so much more enjoyable and definitely going in my folder to use again. I did sautéed potatoes and courgette to go with it, the perfect match.

What do you think i could use instead of the lemons?

easy to make, but help with European measurements,but overall very good.

Just made this recipe and it was amazing! What is the best way to reheat the left overs?

Made this tonight as just what I needed to use available ingredients. It was very tasty and can be altered accordingly.

Unfortunately this dish didn’t do it for me. I followed the recipe to a tee. I felt like the Cod was fairly bland, it just tasted like whatever I seasoned it with (so basically, salt, pepper, chili flakes, and lemon). It definitely was healthy and looked beautiful, but the flavors weren’t there for me. Any suggestions? Or is cod just simply a more mild fish?

I have made this with cod and wondered if tilapia would work too?

I absolutely love this recipe and this time I made the garlicky breaded zucchini, which are to die for!

Made it for dinner last night.  So easy and delicious.  I used fresh herbs from my hydroponic garden....yum.  Thanks for the recipe.

Went to supermarket snd there was a pack of reduced Atlantic cod so Just made this I used 3 large old tomatoes chopped which I had in and dried basil which I had it was absolutely delicious my mouth is still zinging! I served it with mashed sweet potatoes.  A fantastic and simple recipe! Thank you 😊

It was amazing !! I just used sliced Roma tomatoes since I didn’t have cherry tomatoes .  
It was delicious !! Thank you so much for this recipe - perfect for my dinner on intermittent fasting and low carb🤗

I have made this about 5 times now using multi-colour tomatoes and basil from the garden, and have loved it every time. It is lovely paired with Parmesan cheese and peas orzo.
