- 1
Preheat the oven → 200°C (400°F).
- 2
Prep the veggies → Toss sliced fennel, onion, garlic, and tomatoes with 3 tbsp olive oil, fennel seeds, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly in a baking dish.
- 3
Roast base layer → Bake for 15 min to soften and caramelize slightly.
- 4
Add the cod → Season fillets with salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Nestle them on top of the roasted veg. Drizzle with lemon juice, splash the white wine around (not on top of the fish), and finish with 1 tbsp olive oil.
- 5
Bake → 12–15 min, until cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve → Sprinkle with fennel fronds + parsley, maybe a drizzle of good olive oil, and serve with crusty bread or roasted potatoes.
Tips
Flavour profile: delicate, anise-y from fennel, bright lemony finish, with cod staying buttery soft.
Pro move: throw in a few black olives right before baking the fish for a salty hit.
