Cod with Leeks and Tomatoes
- 2 medium leeks, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced, rinsed well, and patted dry
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 sprigs thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
- 2 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes (about 12 ounces)
- 4 cod fillets, each 6 to 8 ounces and 3/4 to 1 inch thick
- Preheat the oven to 450F.
- In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, toss together the leeks, lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Cover with foil, and bake until the leeks just begin to soften, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven.
- Add the tomatoes, and toss to combine.
- Season both sides of the cod fillets with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; place on top of the vegetables.
- Cover the dish and bake until the fish is opaque throughout, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
- First cut away and discard the leeks root and dark-green leaves, then thinly slice the white and light-green parts crosswise into rounds.
- Wash the leek rounds well, as described on page 23.
- Drain on paper towels.
