The best thing about cod is that it is a bit of a blank slate and can be seasoned/flavored however you want. In this dish we pair it with tomatoes and fresh thyme, but it could just as well with smashed olives and oregano. Looking to mix it up even further? Swap in quick-roasting vegetables like zucchini, or switch up the flavors and replace the sliced lemon with lime or grapefruit slices.
