Ingredients
Scale
2 pieces Cod fillets (4–6 ounces each)
1 Bell pepper (sliced, orange or red)
1 cup Zucchini (sliced)
1/2 Fennel bulb (thinly sliced)
1/2 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
1/2 cup Olives
2 tablespoons Olive oil (divided)
1 tablespoon Garlic (minced)
1 Lemon (sliced, for garnish)
Sea salt and pepper (to taste)
1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
Fresh basil, thyme, and parsley (optional, to garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and season them with salt, pepper, and half of the olive oil on both sides.
Combine the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, fennel, cherry tomatoes, and olives in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the remaining olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the top, adding minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is well-coated.
Spread the vegetable mixture evenly in a baking dish. Nestle the seasoned cod fillets on top of the vegetables.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and herbs.
Serve warm, either on its own or over a bed of fluffy couscous or quinoa.
