Ingredients

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Season cod with salt and pepper.
  3. Arrange 4 large sheets of aluminum foil on your work surface. Place 1 fillet on each sheet.
  4. Distribute zucchini, yellow squash, and red onion evenly around each fillet. Season vegetables with salt and pepper.
  5. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes to taste.
  6. Drizzle each portion with about 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon white wine.
  7. Lay several lemon slices over each fillet and top each with a thyme sprig.
  8. Seal the foil packets well so steam is trapped inside, but leave some air space within.
  9. Place packets on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes.
  10. Carefully open a packet to check if the fish is just cooked through. If needed, reseal and bake for a few more minutes.
  11. Serve immediately—open the packets at the table for maximum aroma.
