Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Season the cod: Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Place them in the prepared dish and scatter the cherry tomatoes around the fillets.
Prepare the herb butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with garlic, parsley, basil, and lemon zest until well combined. Dot the herb butter evenly over each piece of cod. Drizzle with olive oil.
Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork and the tomatoes are softened.
Serve: Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

This dish pairs beautifully with rice, couscous, or a side of steamed green beans.
You can substitute dried herbs if fresh aren’t available, using about one-third the amount.
