Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a baking dish, combine 1 1/2 cups halved cherry tomatoes, 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 cup dry white wine, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss gently to mix.
  2. Step 2: Arrange 4 skinless cod fillets evenly spaced over the tomato mixture. Drizzle 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice over the fish.
  3. Step 3: Bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the tomatoes are softened and bubbling.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves over the top before serving alongside crusty bread or steamed vegetables.
