  • 1⅓ cup sliced zucchini (about 1 medium), sliced into ½ inch thick quarters
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper (about 1 medium), cut into ½ inch pieces
  • ⅓ cup kalamata olive halves
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, divided
  • ¼ cup lemon juice + 1 teaspoon lemon zest, divided (about 1 lemon)
  • 1 pound cod fillets, ideally cut into 4 uniform pieces and patted dry
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease or line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. In a large bowl, toss together zucchini, red bell pepper, olives, half the grapeseed oil, and half the lemon zest.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining grapeseed oil, the remaining lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  4. Drizzle half of the lemon-olive oil onto the center of the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Add the cod, spreading around to help coat the bottom of the fish with the lemon-oil liquid.
  6. Drizzle the remaining lemon-oil mixture over the top of the cod.
  7. Add vegetables to the tray and spread into an even, single layer.
  8. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cod turns opaque white and flakes easily with a fork.
  9. Serve warm topped with an optional sprinkle of dill or parsley
