Ingredients

Scale

Fish

  • 4 cod fillets (6 oz each)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Roasted Tomatoes

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Creamy Dill Sauce

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill (or 2 tbsp dried dill)
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Grill or Oven: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375°F) or set your oven to broil. This ensures an optimal cooking environment for both the cod and tomatoes.
  2. Prepare Tomatoes: In a bowl, gently toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil and salt. Spread them evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prepare for roasting.
  3. Season Cod Fillets: Season the cod fillets generously with salt and pepper on both sides. This enhances the flavor before grilling.
  4. Grill Cod: Place the cod fillets on the grill skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Roast Tomatoes: While grilling the cod, place the baking sheet with tomatoes under the broiler or in the oven for 10-12 minutes, roasting until the tomatoes are blistered and juicy.
  6. Make Creamy Dill Sauce: In a small bowl, combine sour cream, freshly squeezed lemon juice, chopped fresh dill (or dried dill), and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and well blended to create a zesty sauce.
  7. Serve: Plate the grilled cod fillets, spoon the roasted tomatoes on top or to the side, and drizzle generously with the creamy dill sauce. Enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Fresh dill provides a brighter flavor, but dried dill can be used as a substitute if fresh is unavailable.
  • Ensure the grill is properly preheated to avoid sticking and to create nice grill marks on the cod.
  • To keep the cod moist, avoid overcooking; fish should flake easily but still be tender.
  • Additional lemon wedges can be served on the side for extra brightness.
  • This recipe works well with any firm white fish if cod is not available.
