Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Place the 2 fresh cod fish fillets on the prepared tray, spaced apart.

Scatter the 2 sliced garlic cloves over the fillets.

Season the fillets with a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Drizzle 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil evenly over the fillets. Sprinkle most of the 1 tablespoon thyme leaves over the fish, reserving a small amount of thyme for garnish. Let the fish sit to marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.

After marinating, arrange the handful of cherry tomatoes around the fillets on the tray.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Transfer the fillets to plates and garnish with the reserved thyme leaves and the lemon wedge. Serve immediately.
