Ingredients
2 cod fillets

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15–20 minutes until soft and slightly charred.
3. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, chopped dill, garlic, lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt to make the creamy dill sauce. Chill until ready to serve.
4. Pat the cod fillets dry, season both sides with salt and pepper.
5. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill surface.
6. Grill the cod fillets for 3–4 minutes per side or until they are opaque and flake easily with a fork.
7. Plate the grilled cod, top with a generous spoonful of dill sauce, and surround with roasted tomatoes.
8. Serve immediately with optional fresh dill or lemon wedge garnish.
Notes
Pat cod dry before grilling to ensure proper searing.
Don’t overcook the fish—remove it as soon as it flakes.
Store sauce separately to keep flavors fresh for leftovers.
