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.

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

StepIn 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
StepLay 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

05
StepDrizzle each fillet with fresh lemon juice, then season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)

StepCarefully 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)
