# Instructions:

Preheat oven to 200°C. In a bowl, toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic. Spread tomatoes evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, until blistered and lightly caramelized.

As tomatoes roast, pat cod fillets dry with paper towels. Rub both sides evenly with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and chopped thyme.

Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear cod fillets for 3 to 4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and fish flakes readily with a fork.

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Whisk in heavy cream, sour cream or Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened.

Arrange roasted tomatoes on serving plates, top with grilled cod, and drizzle with warm dill sauce. Finish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Ensure cod fillets are patted thoroughly dry before seasoning to promote optimal searing and texture.
