Sheet pan dinners are such a delicious way to get a healthy meal on the table without a lot of work and a lot of dishes. Your family will love this recipe for a Mediterranean Cod Sheet Pan Dinner and you’ll love how easy it is to make and clean up after.
When cooking a sheet pan dinner, choosing ingredients that all cook in the same amount of time is the key to success. Thinly slicing the garlic and quartering the zucchini ensures that they cook through in the same time as the fish.
Trim the very bottom off each half of the lemon so it sits upright. Remove any visible seeds.
Turning the oven up to broil in the last few minutes lightly browns the top, which makes a nicer presentation, but it isn’t necessary.
To ensure the fish is cooked through, it should be opaque all the way through, flake easily with a fork, and reach an internal temperature of 145 F.

- 2 cod fillets, appx 1″ thick

My family & I love this dish. It is delicious, elegant, & easy to prepare.
You forgot the zucchini. Turned out pretty good
Hi Chelsy, thanks for pointing out that I missed adding the zucchini in the instructions… so sorry about that. I’d have it in the list of ingredients, but I missed it in the description of the steps. It’s fixed now. Thank you!
You forgot the zucchini
I just made this for dinner. I used asparagus instead of tomatoes and green olives instead of black olives because I was out. It was quick, easy and delicious! Even my picky eater liked the cod. I will make it again with black olives, tomatoes and maybe some other vegetables. 😊
This was an excellent dish, healthy and full of delicious flavors!!! Made the recipe as is, it was perfect and a keeper – will make for years to come. Quick and easy to make, clean up a breeze.
