Spicy Cod Bake with Courgettes
A super Spicy Cod Bake with courgettes (zucchini) recipe that’s an all in one super dish!
Look at the colours, so vibrant. I love to have a plate full of colour
Easy one dish fish dinner
So easy peasy to prepare ahead and then simply bang in the oven, go away and ta-dah dinner’s ready.
Do you eat enough fish? I’m not sure I do! This is a great recipe promise
It’s super low carb too (only the breadcrumbs).
One of the reasons I think it works so well is the wonderful combination of the sweetness of the tomatoes, the sharpness of the lemon juice and a kick of spice from the chilli.
I make it very often – so tasty and so flipping easy!
Another Idea for this Spicy Cod Bake !
My friend does this recipe with chicken strips and says it’s lovely too! I haven’t tried it yet but I really must!
You need to give it a go, really you do – my go to simple, easypeasylemonsqueezy supper.
IF you are SW you can leave the breadcrumbs out!
But if you can spare the syns I suggest you make fresh ones as it give it a lovely crunch! And on SW I miss the crunch!
Courgettes or Zucchini
Courgettes areAlso called Zucchini (usually in the U.S)!
So what do these courgettes/ zucchini’s contain from a nutritional point of view?
Well they contain significant amounts of vitamins B6, riboflavin, folate, C, and K, and minerals, like potassium and manganese. Also know as a summer squash they also contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients.
This makes zucchini, also known as courgette, a nutrient-dense food that you should include in your diet.
