Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole (zested and juiced) lemon
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 medium (sliced into rounds) zucchini
- 2 medium (cut into strips) red bell pepper
- 1 large (cut into wedges) red onion
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice and zest of 1 lemon, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the cod fillets on one side of the baking sheet and brush them generously with the olive oil mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, red bell peppers, red onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Spread the vegetables on the other side of the baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Garnish the cod and vegetables with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
