1poundcherry tomatoes(halved)
1medium red onion(sliced)
1teaspoondried thyme or oregano
3garlic cloves(smashed)
1½cupsmarinated artichoke in olive oil (plus ¼ cup of the marinated oil)
Arrange the halved tomatoes, sliced onion, thyme, smashed garlic and a pinch of salt and black pepper in a large baking dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the dish from the oven and add the cod, arranging the artichokes all around it. Drizzle the fish with olive oil and season with the remaining salt and black pepper. Pour in the white wine and return to the oven for about 10-15 minutes (depending on the thickness), until the cod is fork-tender.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with lemon zest. Serve immediately, with a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
Artichokes: If you don’t have artichokes, black or green olives make a great substitute. A few capers can also be added for a salty, briny kick.Adjust the seasoning. Taste the tomato sauce and add more salt if needed to adjust the seasoning.Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
