Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) cod fillets
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pieces red bell peppers, sliced
• 2 pieces zucchini, sliced into rounds
• 1 piece red onion, sliced into wedges
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, turmeric, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.

Step 3

Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Make sure the fillets are evenly coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the red bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the other half of the marinade over the vegetables. Toss until well coated.

Step 5

Spread the vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 6

After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and create spaces for the cod fillets. Place the marinated cod fillets among the vegetables.

Step 7

Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately with your choice of side, such as rice or warm flatbread.
