# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Spoon those hot tomatoes onto plates, lay a piece of grilled cod on top, drizzle over some of the creamy dill sauce, and shake on a little parsley. Eat it right away while it's fresh.
02 -
Melt the butter in a small pot over gentle heat. Add the heavy cream, Greek yogurt or sour cream, Dijon, dill, lemon zest, salt, and a bit of pepper. Stir and let it warm up on low for a couple minutes so it gets silky and just a touch thick.
03 -
Get your grill or grill pan nice and hot over medium-high. Cook the cod fillets on both sides, about 3 or 4 minutes each, till they're crispy outside and flake apart easily with a fork.
04 -
While those tomatoes roast, grab some paper towels and dry off your cod. Rub both sides all over with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, a splash of lemon juice, and thyme.
05 -
Start by heating your oven to 200°C. In a bowl, mix together cherry tomatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, balsamic, and garlic. Spread it all on a baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes till the tomatoes get soft and a little browned.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Pat cod really dry before you season so you get that nice seared outside and good texture.
