Baked cod with sugar snap peas is a light main dish prepared by baking cod fillets with simple seasoning and fresh vegetables. Fish is cooked gently in the oven until flaky and moist, while sugar snap peas retain slight crunch and fresh flavor. This method keeps ingredients clean and natural, without heavy sauces.

This dish is quick to prepare and suitable for everyday meals, especially when a lighter option is preferred. It is best served immediately after baking and pairs well with potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
