There’s something about this Baked Cod Provencal that makes us feel like we’re on holiday! The vibrant, colourful vegetables and deliciously light, flaky fish will brighten up any day.
White fish like cod is so low in calories, making it a great slimming friendly option. We’ve packed this recipe with loads of chunky vegetables too, so it’s filling and full of nutrients.
The provencal flavour comes from Herbs de Provence – a blend of French inspired herbs that you can find easily at the supermarket. It’s a mixture that usually includes thyme, basil, rosemary, tarragon, marjoram, oregano and bay leaf, and it gives this dish a lovely aromatic taste.
Everything is roasted together on one tray or baking dish, meaning no fuss and minimal mess. Absolutely packed full of goodness, this dish is a really healthy lunch or you could serve for dinner with some couscous or new potatoes.

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200ºC
Step 2
Dab the cod fillets dry with a piece of kitchen towel, then rub in the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper. Set to one side.
Step 3
Cut the peppers, onions, courgette and tomatoes into evenly sized 3cm chunks. Place in a bowl and spray well with low calorie cooking spray.
Step 4
Add the garlic granules, herbs, and some salt and pepper, and toss around until the vegetables are well coated. Drizzle over the balsamic vinegar.

After 15 minutes, remove from the oven and give a good shake. Scatter over the olives, lay the cod fillets on the vegetables and return to the oven for 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of your cod.
Step 8
Divide between 2 warmed plates and serve garnished with the remaining lemon wedges.

Hey Deb, we haven’t tested this recipe in the air fryer we have a handy guide HERE on how to convert recipes to the air fryer that you might find helpful!

If canned tomatoes are used, when would these be added please
LisaThursday 25th November 2021
Hi Sue. We’ve not tried this with tinned tomatoes, but I’d probably drain off the juice and add them at the same time as the fresh tomatoes. You might find that the vegetables don’t brown as well, as there is more moisture in the tinned tomatoes. Hope this helps!
