Baked Cod Fillets with Cream and Vegetables – A Light, Flavorful Meal Perfect for Any Occasion

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Prepare the Vegetables:
In a frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing for a few minutes until they become translucent.
Next, add the carrots, leek, and zucchini. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt, pepper, and herbs de Provence.

Assemble the Dish:
Place the cod fillets in a baking dish.
Drizzle with lemon juice, then spread the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly over and around the fish.
Pour sour cream over the vegetables and fish. If you like, sprinkle some grated parmesan on top for a crispy, cheesy gratin effect.

Bake the Cod:
Bake the dish for 20 minutes, or until the cod is tender and flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Serve:
Serve the baked cod fillets hot with your favorite side, such as rice, steamed potatoes, or a green salad.
