This cod in a tomato lemon butter sauce is a a slightly different take on that with the addition of blistered tomatoes and plenty of fresh herbs. The cod is quickly pan seared before being set aside and the tomatoes are added to the pan and blistered over medium-high heat until the burst and get nice and caramelized, juicy and tender. The garlic, butter and lemon juice are added before adding fresh chopped parsley, basil and green onions all of which give this dish that feeling of summer!

Most tender, flakiest, and flavorful cod you will ever make! This tomato and herb butter compliments the mild tasting cod in the most delicious way ever. It will be the only baked cod with tomato recipe you will crave time after time.

To bake the fresh cod. All you need to do is pre-heat the oven to 400 F degrees. Toss the cod fillets with little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place in a baking dish and bake for 15 minutes or so, depending on the thickness or until easily flakes with a fork.
