Cod is a lean, high-quality protein that’s also a great source of vitamin B12, iodine, and selenium. These nutrients are crucial for supporting thyroid function, energy production, and immune health. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress and aid with detoxification, making this dish a great choice for anyone looking to boost their antioxidant intake and support overall wellness.
The addition of multicolored grape tomatoes not only adds a burst of color but also provides a variety of phytonutrients, including lycopene, a potent antioxidant known for its role in reducing inflammation and supporting heart health. Tomatoes are also rich in vitamin C, which helps enhance the absorption of iron from the cod, further boosting the nutrient profile of this dish.
Olive oil, garlic, and herbes de Provence come together to create a flavorful, Mediterranean-inspired marinade that complements the delicate taste of cod. Olive oil, rich in monounsaturated fats and polyphenols, enhances the dish’s anti-inflammatory properties, while garlic adds a boost of immune-supporting allicin. The lemon juice and slices not only add brightness to the dish but also provide an additional dose of vitamin C, further supporting the body’s detoxification processes and promoting healthy skin.
This Roasted Cod with Tomatoes is a gluten-free, dairy-free, and low-carb dish that’s as delicious as it is beneficial for your health. Whether you’re looking to support your body’s natural detoxification pathways or simply enjoy a nutrient-rich meal, this recipe is a perfect addition to your wellness-focused kitchen.
