Ingredients
For the Grilled Cod:
2 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
For the Roasted Tomatoes:
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
For the Creamy Dill Sauce:
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 tsp lemon zest
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Tomatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, until blistered and slightly caramelized.
- Prepare the Cod: While tomatoes are roasting, pat the cod fillets dry. Rub with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
- Grill the Cod: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook cod fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they develop a golden crust and flake easily with a fork.
- Make the Creamy Dill Sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Stir in heavy cream, sour cream, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Assemble the Dish: Place roasted tomatoes in a bowl, top with grilled cod, and drizzle with creamy dill sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
