Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice zucchini2 into ½-inch rounds, bell3 pepper into strips, and tomatoes4 into wedges; finely chop dill7.

  2. On a sheet of foil, arrange zucchini2 and bell3 pepper in a single layer, season with half the salt, and drizzle with half the oil.

  3. Season the cod1 with the remaining salt, place it over the vegetables, top with tomatoes4, a splash of lemon5 juice, and the rest of the oil.

  4. Seal the foil edges tightly to form a closed packet and transfer to a baking tray.

  5. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25 minutes: the fish should flake easily with a fork, and the zucchini2 should be tender.

  6. Carefully open the packet, let the steam escape, sprinkle with dill7, and serve immediately.

Tips

Why it works
Salt the fish 15 minutes before cooking to draw out moisture and help it absorb lemon and oil better. Use 2g salt per 180g fillet.
Substitutions
Replace zucchini with 100g eggplant or 80g courgette; swap bell pepper for 70g mushrooms if you prefer.
Common mistakes
Overcooking makes the fish dry and opaque; check by inserting a knife. It should flake easily at 22 minutes.
Storing and reheating
Eat fresh or refrigerate for 1 day; reheat in a pan with 1 tbsp water for 3 minutes to avoid drying.
Serve with
Pair with 100g cooked quinoa or 150g boiled potatoes for a balanced dinner.
