Ingredients

1 medium lemon, halved crosswise
1 (1 pound) fillet cod, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 (8 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese
1 medium bell pepper, diced
1 small zucchini, cut in quarters lengthwise and then crosswise into thin slices
1 small red onion, diced
½ cup halved Kalamata olives
½ cup halved green olives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 medium bell peppers, tops cut off and seeded

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Cut one lemon half into 1/4-inch thick slices; remove any rind and quarter each slice. Juice the other half.
Combine cod, feta cheese, diced bell pepper, zucchini, onion, Kalamata and green olives, and lemon slices in a mixing bowl. Mix in oregano and season with salt and pepper. Add lemon juice and olive oil; toss gently to coat all ingredients.
Stuff peppers with the cod mixture. Wrap all peppers together in heavy-duty aluminum foil, creating a sealed pouch.
Bake in the oven until peppers are tender and cod is cooked through, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
