Ingredients

• 4 pieces cod fillets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 whole lemon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 whole red bell pepper
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Rinse the cod fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Slice the lemon in half. Juice one half and slice the other half into thin rounds.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley finely.

Step 5

Cut the red bell pepper into thin strips and dice the zucchini into half-moon slices.

Step 6

In a large bowl, mix broccoli florets, red bell pepper slices, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the veggies and season with half the salt and pepper.

Step 7

Place the cod fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, and season with the rest of the salt and pepper.

Step 8

Spread the minced garlic over the cod fillets, and arrange the lemon slices on top.

Step 9

Spread the vegetable mixture evenly around the cod fillets on the baking sheet.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Once cooked, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
