Cod Loin With Cherry Tomatoes, Mozzarella And Basil - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (225 g) cod, loin
12 cherry tomatoes
125 g buffalo mozzarella
20 g parmesan cheese, grated
1 small bunch fresh basil
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper
1 pinch sea salt

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 200c.
Place the cod in an oiled oven proof dish. Place a basil leaf on each cod loin. Place a slice of mozzarella on each cod loin.
Slice the tomatoes in half and place on and around the cod. Sprinkle over the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper(be frugal with the salt as the parmesan is salty). Drizzle with a little Olive Oil.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the fish is cooked.
While the fish is cooking make the basil oil. Tear the remaining basil into a pestle and mortar, add a pinch sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and the extra virgin olive oil and crush to a fine paste.
Serve the fish with the basil oil drizzled over.
