Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 medium Zucchini, sliced
- 1 large Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small Red onion, sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place the cod fillets on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Brush the fillets with the lemon-garlic mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
In a large bowl, combine the zucchini slices, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Distribute the vegetables on the other side of the baking sheet, leaving space between the cod and vegetables.
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.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Transfer the fish and vegetables to serving plates.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Baked Cod with Mixed Vegetables!
