Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2
Add rice, stir to coat, then pour in canned tomatoes with their juice and 1.25 cups water.
Step 3
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12 minutes until rice is almost tender.
Step 4
Arrange halved cherry tomatoes on top of rice. Pat cod dry, season with salt and pepper, then lay on top.
Step 5
Drizzle cod with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Cover and cook 6–7 minutes until fish flakes easily at thickest point.
Step 6
Serve immediately in shallow bowls, spooning tomato rice and roasted cherry tomatoes alongside the cod.
