Grilled Fish Fillet over grilled Veggies, my delicious P.V.R.M. (Post Vacation Recovery Meal)

After 8 days discovering and enjoying California (a week full of delicious food, yummy ice cream, great wine from the Napa Valley, etc ...) followed by a week at home with our family visiting us from France, it is necessary to enjoy a light dinner at home tonight (necessary is the really the good word, trust me ;-)

BUT I'm not a crazy girl, a light dinner doesn't mean eating only a baby carrot and a piece of apple tonight (I need to treat myself and also ... to keep my hubby happy ;-)

SO, light means a well-balanced meal with fresh Fish, a lot of tasty Veggies & Herbs and a splash of Olive Oil, et voila !!

I decided to buy fresh Cod Fillets, Tomatoes, Red & Yellow Peppers, Onions and Zucchinis. You can choose different kind of fish and veggies.

I like the Cod because it has a mild flavor, low fat content and a dense, flaky flesh.
It is also it is cheap fish, perfect for a weekday night ;-)

I chopped all the vegetables and arrange them in layers into an oven safe dish. I added herbs, olive oil, salt & pepper (OMG, it smells so good !).

After 30mn in the oven, the veggies start melting, simmering in their juice !!

I added the fish on the top, and15mn later, the fish is just perfectly grilled ...

I served on warm plates with the juice.
Awwww.... that is a no-guilty, easy & tasty recipe !!!

A bientot et Bon Appetit !
