  • Total Time: 30
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

4 cod fillets (56 oz each)
2 medium zucchinis (sliced)
1 pint cherry tomatoes
4 garlic cloves (minced)
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Sauté garlic 1 minute until fragrant. Add zucchini and cook 3-4 minutes until tender.
Arrange cod fillets in the skillet, season with basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Pour in cherry tomatoes, cover, and transfer to oven. Bake 15 minutes until cod is flaky.
Let rest 5 minutes, then serve with zucchini-tomato sauce and herbs sprinkled atop.

Notes

Cod dries out easily—use fresh fillets for best results.
To keep uncooked cod from sticking, securely wrap and freeze leftovers.
Substitute cherry tomatoes with grape tomatoes or diced fresh tomatoes.
