Ingredients:

• For the Vegetables:
  • 1 small zucchini, julienned
  • 1 small yellow squash, julienned
  • ½ red onion, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley (plus extra for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• For the Cod:
  • 2 lbs. cod fillets, cut into serving pieces
  • ½ teaspoon lemon pepper
• For the Sauce:
  • 12 oz. a container of roasted red peppers, thoroughly drained and finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Method:

1. In order to prepare the vegetables, heat a large pan over medium heat and sauté the zucchini, yellow squash and red onion with a sprinkle of olive oil until the vegetables are cooked on both sides.
2. Prepare the Cod with: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Rub the fish fillets with a little bit of salt and lemon pepper before cooking them. Prepare a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper and arrange the fillets on it.
3. Produce the Sauce by: Prepare the olive oil by heating it in a pot of medium size over medium heat. After incorporating the garlic that has been finely diced, sauté it for around sixty seconds, or until it emits a lovely scent. Continue to simmer for a further two minutes after stirring in the chopped roasted red peppers.
4. The Creamy Base may be made by lowering the heat and pouring in the heavy cream while swirling continually until it is completely incorporated. For about five minutes, allow the mixture to bubble in a gentle manner. Combine the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese with the other ingredients, and then season with salt and pepper to taste. Once the sauce has reached a smooth and creamy consistency, remove it from the heat.
5. Pour the sauce that has been made over the fish fillets that are placed on the baking sheet. Bake the cod. Position in the preheated oven and cook for fifteen to twenty minutes, or until the fish is completely cooked through and can be easily separated with a fork or knife.
6. Bring together and serve: After the veggies have been sautéed, arrange them on serving dishes. On top, place the cod fillets that have been cooked, then sprinkle with the remaining sauce that was on the baking sheet. Add some more fresh parsley as a garnish.
