DILL COD WITH ROASTED TOMATOES

I know you probably think this is a basic roasted tomato and fish combination here. It’s not. This dill cod with roasted tomatoes has a special secret ingredient you wouldn’t expect. It’s pickles! A salty, vinegary twist to this flavorful dish.

I love that this can be a super hearty, all-in-one meal if you bulk up on the tomatoes and cauliflower too. Just be sure that you chop your cauliflower into smaller pieces so that it roasts alongside the tomatoes. If the cauliflower is left in too large of florets, it won’t cook in time. It’ll still be a bit raw in the middle when you serve the dish. The whole meal comes together in a little over 25 minutes. If you’re feeling fresh, add a few lemon slices to brighten up the dish and highlight the hint of citrus in there.

Because this dill cod recipe uses pickles, I want to take a minute to just highlight how critical ingredients are when shopping for pickles. Pickles are one of those foods that more often than not are packed with unnecessary additives and coloring. I like to snag mine from the refrigerated section in the deli. This typically steers me in a better directions when it comes to guaranteeing they are fresh with quality ingredients. Pickles are a super simple food – cucumbers, vinegar, and herbs- and the ingredients should reflect just this.
