Equipment

  • Baking Dish
  • Oven
  • Small Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and lightly oil a baking dish.
  • Place the cod fillets in the dish and spread the pesto evenly over each piece.
  • In a small bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, olive oil, and minced garlic.
  • Spoon the tomato mixture around the cod in the baking dish.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the tomatoes have softened.

Notes

Check the cod early to avoid overcooking, since thickness varies. Leftovers reheat gently in a low oven with a splash of water to keep the fish moist. Fresh pesto gives the brightest flavor here, but jarred works fine if that is what you have on hand.
