Method:
Put the sliced peppers on a baking tray and drizzle with the oil.
Mix the breadcrumbs with the parsley, salt and pepper, then add the melted butter and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly.
Place the fish in a shallow, ovenproof dish and press the buttered crumbs firmly onto the cod to form an even crust.
Bake both trays at 220C for 20-25 minutes until the crust is browned and the fish just cooked through, and the peppers are soft and starting to brown.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
