Oven-Baked Cod in Foil with Bell Peppers and Basil
Ingredients
  • 2 tomatoes, cubed
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cubed
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • aluminum foil
  • 4 (5 ounce) cod fillets
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Gather all required components, including vegetables and seasonings.
2
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) for optimal cooking results.
3
Combine diced tomatoes, sliced bell peppers, chopped onion, olive oil, fresh basil leaves, and minced garlic in a bowl and thoroughly blend the ingredients together.
4
Prepare four sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface, then position one cod fillet in the center of each sheet.
5
Spoon an even layer of the tomato mixture atop each cod fillet, followed by a drizzle of lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste.
6
Cover each fillet with a second sheet of foil, sealing the edges tightly to create a self-contained package.
7
Repeat this process with the remaining cod fillets and tomato mixture, ensuring all components are utilized.
8
Place the prepared parcels in the preheated oven and bake until the cod flakes effortlessly with a fork, approximately 20 minutes.
9
Carefully remove the parcels from the oven and unwrap them to reveal the cooked cod inside.
