plus 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

small onion, chopped

Kosher salt

jasmine rice

clove garlic, smashed

cherry tomatoes

sliced almonds, chopped

cumin seeds, crushed

coriander seeds, crushed

lemon zest, divided

flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped, plus more for sprinkling

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in medium saucepan on medium. Add onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add rice, ginger, garlic, and 1 3/4 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until rice is just tender, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, until ready to serve.
  • Meanwhile, on large rimmed baking sheet, toss tomatoes with 1/2 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Roast undisturbed until tomatoes begin to soften, 9 to 10 minutes.
  • While tomatoes roast, in medium bowl, stir together almonds, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, half of lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons oil. Dividing evenly, spoon mixture on top of cod fillets. Nestle cod fillets among roasted tomatoes and roast until cod is opaque and just cooked through, 6 to 9 minutes.
  • Discard garlic and ginger from rice and fluff with fork. Fold in parsley and remaining lemon zest.
  • Serve rice topped with fish and tomatoes and sprinkled with additional chopped parsley.
  • NICE RICE: Cooking the rice with garlic and ginger infuses it with wonderful aromas. Fold in fresh herbs and lemon zest right at the end for a bright finish.
