Ingredients
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 1½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 medium zucchinis, halved and sliced into half-moons
• ½ cup pesto (store-bought or homemade)
• ½ cup fresh basil, chopped
• 3 tablespoons capers, drained
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.

3. Spread the vegetables evenly in the baking dish.
4. Nestle the cod fillets on top of the vegetables and brush with the remaining pesto.
5. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender.
6. Finish with fresh basil and serve with lemon wedges.
