Author Notes: It's easy and quite foolproof. Swap herbs for pimento or saffron. - wingirls
Serves 4
- 1 pound assorted grape and cherry tomatoes - different colors work beautifully
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/1/2 -2 pound cod
- 30 Assorted Olives, kalamata and nicoise work well together
- 1 handful chopped fresh herbs (basil, thyme, mint and oregano work well)
- 1 cup chicken stock - depending
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place tomatoes in overproof dish and toss with garlic and two tablespoons of olive oil. Roast for 25 minutes on lower rack in oven.
- While tomatoes are cooking, cut fish into 4 equal sized pieces, rinse and pat dry.
- Remove tomatoes from oven, nestle fish into the tomatoes and their juice, scatter olives and return to oven for about 25 minutes but of course this depends on the thickness of the fish.
- Test for doneness - cod should separate easily and be just opaque. Remove from oven.
- Sprinkle fresh herbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle last two tablespoons of olive oil all over. Serve hot with quinoa, couscous or crusty bread.
- Extra note - juiciness of the tomatoes can vary - when adding the fish, if the tomatoes are not seeping, add 1 cup of chicken stock to the dish.

This is a great way to prepare cod and this is definitely a keeper. My family loved it. I added a bit of chicken stock, lots of fresh basil, thyme, oregano and served it with quinoa and corn on the cob. The sauce was too thin (could add thickening agent if going to serve over quinoa or cous-cous depending on how much stock you add). Although, I thought the quinoa was not necessary with this dish as it is delicious on its own. Next time I might even try to add a bit of white wine and capers.

This is the first cod recipe I found that I love! We all love it. Everytime it tastes a little different but it's all good. The more cherry tomatoes, and fresh herbs on top, the better. Thank you, Wingirls.
