Pan-Fried Atlantic Cod Filet with Ratatouille

Pan-Fried Atlantic Cod Fillet with Ratatouille is a delightful and well-balanced dish.

The ratatouille, made with a combination of tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, peppers, and onions, provides a rich, savory base that pairs wonderfully with the fish. The dish is light yet full of flavor, making it a perfect option for spring and summer when the vegetables are at their peak. It’s an easy yet impressive dish to serve for a casual dinner or a special occasion.
