Ingredients

  • 4 cod fillets (about 5–6 ounces each)
  • 3/4 pound (340 g) baby gold potatoes, cut into quarters
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 whole lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and chopped dill. Stir to blend.
  4. Place the quartered potatoes in the baking dish. Pour half of the lemon-dill mixture over them and toss to coat.
  5. Microwave the potatoes in the dish on high for 5 minutes. Carefully remove.
  6. Arrange the cod fillets and sliced zucchini in the dish with the potatoes.
  7. Brush or spoon the remaining lemon-dill mixture over the cod and vegetables.
  8. Place lemon slices over the fish.
  9. Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the cod is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  10. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Wild pollock can be substituted for cod.
  • Fingerling potatoes work well if cut into small pieces.
  • Substitute zucchini with asparagus, green beans, or cherry tomatoes.
  • Add a sprinkle of paprika for subtle smokiness.
  • Top with plain yogurt mixed with dill and lemon zest for a creamy finish.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated up to 2 days.
  • Reheat at 325°F (165°C) for 8–10 minutes or microwave gently.
  • Freezing is not recommended due to texture changes.
