Why This Recipe Is So Easy To Love

This dish combines rich, buttery fish with a bright and tangy sauce that excites the palate. It’s a perfect balance of flavors, making it both comforting and refreshing. Plus, it’s quick to prepare, ideal for a weeknight dinner or special occasion.

Step 1

Lightly heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly spray the bottom of a Dutch oven or a casserole dish with cooking spray to keep things from sticking. In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix together lime juice, brown sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce. Let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens up a bit—this should take about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Place the cod in the prepared dish and pour the sauce over the top. Arrange the tomatoes around the fish so they can roast alongside it. Cover the dish with a lid that’s safe for the oven. Pop it in the oven and bake until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, which usually takes around 10 minutes.
