Instructions
Creating your own Sheet Pan Mediterranean Cod can be quick and straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
3. Arrange the Vegetables: In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, add minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
4. Spread the Vegetables: Spread the vegetable mixture evenly on one side of the sheet pan, creating a layer.
5. Prepare the Cod: Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Season each fillet with salt, pepper, lemon zest, and a drizzle of olive oil.
6. Place the Cod: Lay the cod fillets on the empty side of the sheet pan alongside the vegetables.
7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
8. Add Lemon Juice: Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cod and vegetables for extra zing.
9. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
