Preparation:  Cod in foil with vegetables

1. Start by slicing the zucchini into thin sticks. Cut carrots into ribbons with a vegetable peeler. Cut 4 thin slices in the widest part of the orange. Cut 4 large pieces of parchment paper (or aluminum foil).
2. Divide the vegetables into each foil. Add a few leaves of parsley and mint, a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Squeeze a little orange juice. Place the fish fillets on top. Season again with salt, and Espelette pepper. Drizzle with olive oil. Place the orange slices and herbs on top. Close the foil and set aside until serving time.
3. Turn your oven on 390°F (200°C). Cook the fish in foils for 20 minutes.
4. Serve the foils still closed on the plates and let everyone enjoy the fragrance when opening. Bon appetit!
