Dinner Tonight: Packets of Cod with Zucchini, Tomatoes, and Parsley Pesto
I've been meaning to try a recipe from Rick Moonen's Fish Without a Doubt, but it wasn't until I came across this dead simple one that I actually got my act together. Talk about easy. The cod is simply placed on a sheet of aluminum foil with thinly sliced zucchini, halved tomatoes, and a parsley pesto. It's wrapped up, slung in the oven, and cooked for 15 minutes. That's it.
It seems so easy, but for some reason the combination of fresh vegetables and the parsley pesto is more than the sum of its parts. Perhaps it's so inspiring because the zucchini and tomatoes are in season. I wouldn't come near this recipe in the dead of winter. About the only complaint is that I wish there were more vegetables, but that can be easily fixed. A few more cherry tomatoes wouldn't hurt.
