Cooking fish at home doesn't have to mean a splattered stovetop or a kitchen that smells for days. Sealing each portion inside its own parchment parcel locks in moisture and lets the lemon, thyme, and fresh parsley perfume the cod as it gently steams in the oven — the result is impossibly tender, flaky fish surrounded by soft zucchini, sweet cherry tomatoes, and silky bell pepper. Every ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, so there's no need to squint at a label hunting for sneaky sweeteners or corn-derived additives that have a way of creeping into bottled sauces and marinades. The seasoning is nothing but good olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, pepper, and herbs — clean, bright, and completely in your control. Opening the puffed packet at the table releases a cloud of fragrant steam that makes the whole thing feel a little theatrical, which is a nice bonus for a weeknight dinner. It's an elegant, fuss-free method that proves eating without processed ingredients doesn't mean sacrificing any flavor.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Cut four sheets of parchment paper, each about 15 inches long. Fold each sheet in half to crease the center, then open flat on a baking sheet.
Divide the zucchini rounds and bell pepper slices evenly among the four parchment sheets, arranging them in a single layer on one half of each sheet, just off the center crease.
