This is a very versatile recipe. I made it with hake and added diced red pepper, kalamata olives, and a bit of preserved lemon to the tomato mix before baking. I think it could be seasoned in a dozen different ways and be equally delicious.

Libby

I made this dish tonight. It was wonderful. I added a layer of sliced thin potatoes on the bottom of the pan and baked them at high heat until they were crispy. I then added the tomatoes and later the fish. It was so good. Can't wait to make it again. I used cod for the fish

AJS

I make this all the time with Haddock and use whole wheat panko mixed with butter for the topping. I also cook the fish and tomatoes together in the same pan. Delicious!,

Sharon Johnson

Delicious! Easy! Made the tomatoes in advance so only had to throw the fish in and roast when the guests arrived.

Beth Benoit

This is so so easy, but the delicate taste makes is seem like a much more complicated recipe. I followed directions exactly. though used half as much fish for only two of us, but kept to measurements for everything else. More sauce is a good thing!

Jackie

This is similar to a meal I make often, I think from an old Donna Hay recipe. I've usually just used lemon juice and oil but will try the vinegar/honey combo as it sounds delicious. I find it's great with capers added, and instead of minced garlic I use whole garlic cloves that become soft and delicious through roasting. Some times I roast chopped potatoes in with it and/or add home made breadcrumbs for crunch. Great with green beans.

Travis Greene

I would like to share a few alterations I used for this recipe. I hope these changes gave the recipe a little more Mediterranean flavor. Try adding preserved lemon, za'atar, Greek oregano, and three tbsp of frozen orange juice concentrate (instead of honey), and one tbsp of ginger paste to the marinade. Liberally apply za'atar to the fish fillets themselves prior to placing them in the pan. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley too!

Glenna Crooks

I served this tonight over quinoa and it was a real hit. It's a versatile recipe and I appreciate what others have added. I'll add kalamata olives next time, for example. This is a winner!

Elena

The effort to tastiness ratio of this dish is very good. Picked up fresh haddock and tomatoes at the market on the way home. Made it with a simple rice pilaf. I added half of a red onion to the shallots and I was generous with the red wine vinegar. Tossed some asparagus tips on the stove while the fish and rice finished up and felt like a regular master chef when it all came together at the same time. Getting a weeknight meal this good on the table by 8:15 is not normally this easy!

This recipe is a good argument for always having some cherry tomatoes around. I found it be my kind of recipe: high flavour for low effort. We are clearing out our freezer and I used frozen tilapia --a fish I do not usually love--but smothered with the sherry vinegar honey glazed tomatoes the fish was transformed. My test for a recipe is would you make it again? My answer is yes!

Kristin

This recipe is INCREDIBLE. I'm adding it to my rotation of recipes. Honestly one of the best ways I've ever made a white fish. So flavorful.

Paulette

This recipe is near perfection as written. I had some wild Alaskan cod in the freezer and fortunately the other ingredients as well.We served with jasmati rice and there were plenty of oohs ahhs as we ate. Opted to use the sherry vinegar rather than red wine since there was enough acid from the tomatoes.Anyway, stop what you are doing and whip up this delicious dish. Also want to mention I let the tomato mixture marinate on the kitchen counter for a couple of hours prior to baking.

Kate NYC

I thought this was okay. Not great. But easy. Although with really good ingredients (late summer tomatoes, wild north Atlantic cod), the simple cooking method lets you taste their flavors so that was appealing. Next time I would add a tiny pinch of red pepper flakes and I wouldn't cut the tomatoes in half so to reduce the rather large amount of liquid that was produced. And I left out the honey as I don't see why we need to add sugar to a dish that really doesn't need it.

Joan

This recipe is a win-win.Prepared three tilapia fillets in this style for dinner on Saturday, served with a baked potato and an avocado salad. On Monday morning, we split the third fillet for breakfast, warmed and draped over fried potatoes with poached eggs on top. Should have saved more tomatoes for Monday. That tiny teaspoon of honey that so many disparage? It created a nice complex flavor. Only if my cherry tomatoes were height-of-the-season sweet-one-hundreds might I skip the honey.

Jude

Delicious and flavorful tomato mix - mix of honey and sherry vinegar made it. Since corn is still in season I shaved about a cup or so of kernels off the cob, and added to the tomato mix when I added the fish. Added the fish before the tomatoes were quite done so tomatoes would not overcook. Would go with another kind of fish next time, I think. Cod is pretty bland.

Kathy D

Added ~ 1 cup halved mini potatoes, cooked 5 minutes first, added 1 tsp red pepper flakes, Used 1 lb cod. Delish receive of 2.

BJR

We prepared the tomatoes according to recipe and they were very flavorful. We thought about adding Kalamata olives and were happy we didn’t. The balance of the red wine vinegar and honey was perfect. We used half the amount of fish and served over couscous. A white Rioja was a perfect accompaniment.

Jean A.

I made this recipe and got rave reviews. I did double the tomatoes, garlic, shallots and sauce as I had 6 pieces of fish. I used skinless cod as that's what I had and no problems. I used a sheet pan lined with foil for easy clean up. I would definitely make this again. HINT Do NOT skip the lemon zest, mint and basil as it really adds to the favor of the dish. I served this dish with roasted broccoli and a crusty baguette.

dlj

Made this as is although a smaller portion. Definitely a keeper. Did not use extra sugar as the tomatoes were good. Next time might use a bit more vinegar as I think the acidity was not quite balanced for my taste. Compensated with lemon juice after the fact. Super easy.

Julian

I was stunned by how delicious this is, made exactly as written with cod. Sauce was quite watery coming out of the oven so I tossed it in a pan and reduced a bit, really made the flavour pop. The fresh herbs and lemon zest take it from good to amazing.

jan

This is a very good recipe I added some broccoli. I made this a couple of times always good easy and tasty no matter which type fish

Mary Jo

Agree that recipe is very versatile and a keeper! I usually use cod from my Butcher Box delivery. I add chopped yellow or orange bell pepper to the tomato mix and increase the lemon zest. Sometimes I'll top it with crumbled feta right after I take the final dish out of the oven. Dinner party quality or quick family dinner - I have made it many times. Delicious.

Nina Rubin

I added a tiny sprinkle of saffron to the sauce. It was wonderful. After serving the fish, there was a lot of leftover sauce. I sliced up some semi stale bread and dunked it in the pan. Also delicious.

Danita

Quick and easy weeknight dinner. Used 2 pieces of black cod and cut down on tomato quantity a little as cooking for two. Kept the other ingredient portions the same. Added a few sliced olives and a small amount of feta to the tomato mix because I had some on hand. Put thinly sliced lemons on top of fish prior to baking. Added chopped dill and lemon rind after cooking.

shell88

Used hot honey and just basil.

Nicole

I made this on Monday and it was phenomenal! I used wild caught cod in my version and followed the recipe as written. This was so good, I plan to add it to my dinner rotation! Great for a weeknight meal or if you’re hosting a dinner party, you’re bound to impress your guests.

Niffer

Just fantastic. Made with fresh red snapper fillets. Doubled the cherry tomatoes and shallots. Added chunks of summer squash with tomatoes when the fish went in the oven. The herbs make it more special. This is a very easy and quick recipe.

Nancy

This is delicious! I used Dover sole filets and canned cherry tomatoes since we are in winter.

Flávia Napoli

I made this with haddock. It was delicious beyond words. Do not skip on herbs at the end. It adds complexity and a happy reminder of summer in the winter months. Double the tomatoes/shallots component. It’s worth it. Serve over rice.

Jenn B

Sprinkled feta chunks on top of the fish and tomatoes when I added the fish to the pan. So good!
