How to Make Baked Cod With Summer Squash

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. 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.
  3. In a large ovenproof skillet (10-12 inch), heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat.
  4. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is softened, about 5-6 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 medium bell pepper (any color), chopped, and 2 medium yellow squash, chopped. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until the pepper is crisp-tender.
  7. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained.
  8. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce slightly thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  9. Place 2 (6-ounce) cod fillets on top of the vegetable mixture. Season the cod with salt and pepper.
  10. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cod.
  11. 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).
