How to make Mediterranean Baked Cod with Tomato and Spinach
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red bell pepper, and finely dice the red onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
- In a large bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red bell pepper, diced red onion, and minced garlic. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss gently to coat all the vegetables evenly.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and release their juices.
- While the vegetables roast, pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to ensure they cook evenly and season well. Drizzle the fillets with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
- After 15 minutes, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Stir the roasted vegetables gently, then nestle the cod fillets among the vegetables on the baking sheet.
- Scatter the fresh spinach over and around the cod and vegetables. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Once cooked, squeeze the juice from half a lemon over the entire dish. Garnish generously with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately, spooning the flavorful pan juices over each cod fillet and vegetable portion. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of quinoa or a light green salad.
