Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (8 ounce) fillet cod, cut into 2 pieces
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed and cut into 2 rectangles
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ (4 ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and sliced
1 sprig fresh thyme, leaves removed
1 egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place each piece of cod fillet on one of the puff pastry rectangles and season well with salt and pepper. Sprinkle each fish fillet with 1/2 the feta cheese, the roasted red peppers, and the thyme leaves. Fold pastry over the fish and pinch edges together to make a pouch. Brush top with beaten egg and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until puff pastry is golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork, about 30 minutes.
