Cod in Creamy Red Roasted Pepper Sauce

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook peppers, garlic, and basil in olive oil for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors come together.

Step 2

Transfer the pepper mixture to a food processor and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides.

Step 3

Return the mixture to the same skillet and stir in cream, Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste; simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring, until lightly thickened.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 5

Layer the zucchini, yellow squash, and onions on a bottom of a 9X13 baking dish. Lightly season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 6

Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper, and layer in a single layer over the veggies. Sprinkle with parsley all over.

Step 7

Spoon the red pepper sauce over the cod, spreading out evenly so all of the cod is covered in sauce.

Step 8

Bake, uncovered, for 25-35 minutes until the fish is flaky and veggies are tender. Cook time will depend on the thickness of the cod.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley and let rest for 5-10 minutes, uncovered, before serving.
