# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, until blistered and lightly caramelized.
02 -
While the tomatoes roast, pat cod fillets dry with paper towels. Evenly rub with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and fresh thyme.
03 -
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill cod fillets for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and the fish flakes easily.
04 -
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Stir in heavy cream, sour cream or Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until heated through and smooth.

Plate the roasted tomatoes, top with the grilled cod, and spoon over the creamy dill sauce. Finish with a garnish of fresh parsley and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure cod is thoroughly dried before grilling to achieve optimal searing. For best results, allow the sauce to gently simmer without boiling.
