Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, combine the cubed tomatoes, red bell pepper, minced onion, olive oil, chopped basil, and minced garlic. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Lay out 4 sheets of aluminum foil on a clean work surface. Place one cod fillet in the center of each foil sheet. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Spoon the tomato and vegetable mixture evenly over the top of each cod fillet, ensuring the fish is well covered. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Drizzle each fillet with fresh lemon juice, then season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Carefully place a second sheet of foil on top of each fillet and tightly seal the edges by folding them over multiple times to create a secure, airtight parcel. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, approximately 20 minutes. (20 minutes)

08

Step

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully open each foil packet, being cautious of the hot steam. Transfer the cod and vegetable mixture to warmed plates and serve immediately.

For an enhanced flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine or a pat of butter to each foil packet before sealing.
Feel free to customize the vegetables according to your preference. Zucchini, mushrooms, or olives would be excellent additions.
Ensure the foil packets are sealed tightly to trap the steam and cook the cod evenly. If the foil is thin, use double layers to prevent tearing.
Serve with a side of quinoa or couscous to soak up the delicious juices from the foil packets.
