Boil baby potatoes in a medium pot with 1 teaspoon of sea salt until soft, about 15 minutes, then drain and let cool slightly.

Transfer the seared cod to a baking tray.

Preheat the oven to 190°C (374°F).

Add the boiled potatoes to the baking tray with the cod.

Season with black pepper to taste, add chopped garlic, bay leaves, rosemary, and parsley.

Drizzle generous amounts of aromatic olive oil over the cod and potatoes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until slightly caramelized.

Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving plate, and garnish with rosemary and parsley.
