Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Place each piece of cod fillet on one of the puff pastry rectangles and season well with salt and pepper. Sprinkle each fish fillet with 1/2 the feta cheese, the roasted red peppers, and the thyme leaves. Fold pastry over the fish and pinch edges together to make a pouch. Brush top with beaten egg and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until puff pastry is golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork, about 30 minutes.
