Why It Works

• The combination of cod, tomatoes, and feta is a classic for a reason. The mild flavor of the cod pairs perfectly with the bright and tangy flavors of the tomatoes and feta.
• Baking the cod in a parchment paper-lined baking dish helps to keep the fish moist and juicy. It also makes cleanup a breeze.
• The feta cheese melts and becomes slightly crispy when baked, adding a delicious texture to the dish.
