How to Make Baked Cod With Summer Squash
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix well and set aside.
- In a large ovenproof skillet (10-12 inch), heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is softened, about 5-6 minutes.
- Stir in 1 medium bell pepper (any color), chopped, and 2 medium yellow squash, chopped. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until the pepper is crisp-tender.
- Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained.
- Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce slightly thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- Place 2 (6-ounce) cod fillets on top of the vegetable mixture. Season the cod with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cod.
- Bake, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Internal temperature of the cod should reach 145°F (63°C).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
