Chef's Note
For the most tender cod, avoid overcooking. The fish is done when it just turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork. If you have a meat thermometer, aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

12 oz cod fillets
3 cups broccoli florets

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Rinse the cod fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them on a plate and season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, the zest of 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon chopped thyme, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped dill, and 2 minced garlic cloves.

Rub the herb mixture evenly over the cod fillets and let them marinate while you prepare the vegetables.

On a large baking sheet, toss 3 cups broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- 6
Spread the broccoli in a single layer on one side of the baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
- 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the cod fillets to the other side. Scatter 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes around the cod.
- 8
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and the broccoli is tender with crispy edges.

While the fish is baking, cut the zested lemon in half and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice into a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon capers and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, mix well.

When done, remove from the oven and drizzle the lemon-caper mixture over the cod fillets.
