Easy Baked Cod in Foil Recipe

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. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather all ingredients for an easy cooking experience.
2. In a bowl, thoroughly combine diced tomatoes, sliced bell pepper, chopped onion, olive oil, fresh basil, and minced garlic.
3. Place 4 sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface. Put 1 cod fillet in the middle of each sheet.
4. Evenly spoon the prepared tomato and vegetable mixture over the top of the 4 cod fillets.
5. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over each fillet, then season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
6. Cover each fillet with a second sheet of foil, tightly sealing the edges to form a secure packet.
7. Repeat these steps with any remaining cod fillets and tomato mixture to ensure all portions are prepared.
8. Bake in the preheated oven until the cod easily flakes with a fork, approximately 20 minutes.
9. Carefully remove the foil packets from the oven and gently unwrap. Spoon the baked cod and vegetables onto warm plates and serve immediately.
