Mediterranean roasted cod

Mediterranean roasted cod

If you like the sound of a keto dinner that's easy like Sunday morning, this is it! Pop some cherry tomatoes and garlic in the oven to roast, set the table, maybe dance around the kitchen, and then place the fish and all the seasonings on top for the final stretch in the oven. So simple to make, tons of flavor, and delightfully high in protein and satiety. It's the kind of meal that makes a weeknight feel like a date night!
