Use any white fish, but cod works really well with this simple, flavorful dish.

- 1/2 cup Shallots, thinly sliced
- 2 Tbsp. Olive oil; plus more for brushing the fish

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the tomatoes, shallots and garlic in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, vinegar (or sherry), honey, salt and pepper. Pour over the tomatoes and toss to combine. Roast the tomatoes until the start to collapse and the shallots are translucent; about 15 minutes.
While the tomatoes are roasting, pat the fish dry and brush with olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Add the seasoned fish to the blistered tomatoes and roast until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork; about 10 to 12 minutes.
