Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Ensure the cod is thawed and thoroughly patted dry.

In an oven-safe dish, place the quartered cherry tomatoes, chopped green pepper and onion, half of the feta cheese, halved Kalamata olives and minced garlic. Season with the salt and half of the oregano.

Drizzle olive oil on top and stir to combine.

Nestle the cod in the veggie mixture and add the remaining oregano and red pepper flakes. Add an additional small drizzle of olive oil on top of the cod.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the cod is cooked through.

Remove from the oven and garnish with a fresh squeeze of lemon and chopped basil.
