Description
A fresh, elegant dish that pairs flaky grilled cod with sweet blistered cherry tomatoes and a luxurious creamy dill sauce. Perfect for summer dinners or anytime you want a healthy meal that feels special.
Ingredients
4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
1 pint cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon butter (optional)
Instructions
1. Pat cod dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Toss cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt.
2. Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill tomatoes for 5–7 minutes until blistered and lightly charred. Remove and set aside.
3. Brush cod with remaining olive oil. Grill fillets for 3–4 minutes per side, until opaque and easily flaked with a fork.
4. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter (if using), then add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in cream and simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened slightly.
5. Add dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the sauce. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
6. To serve, spoon dill sauce onto each plate, top with grilled tomatoes, then lay cod fillet on top.
7. Garnish with fresh dill and serve immediately.
Notes
Use thick, center-cut cod fillets for best grilling results.
If using dried dill, reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon.
The creamy dill sauce can be made 1–2 days in advance and reheated gently.
