Steps:
- Place racks in center and top-most positions of oven; heat broiler. Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove stems, ribs, and seeds; discard. Place bell peppers on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 3 Tbsp. oil; season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat, then turn cut side down and broil bell peppers on top rack, turning baking sheet front to back halfway through, until skins are blackened all over, 15-20 minutes.
- Transfer bell peppers along with oil and juices on baking sheet to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let bell peppers sit 10 minutes to steam, which will loosen their skins. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F.
- Uncover bell peppers and peel away charred skin from flesh (don't worry about getting every last bit); discard. Tear flesh into 1/2" strips and place in a shallow 3-qt. baking dish along with all the accumulated juices in the bowl. Add garlic, vinegar, and red pepper flakes and toss well to combine. Taste and season with more salt.
- Nestle cod into bell pepper mixture, drizzle with 2 Tbsp. oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Roast on center rack until flesh is opaque throughout and flakes easily when pressed, 25-30 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss onion, parsley, capers, and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl; season with salt.
- Top fish with onion mixture and serve with bread.

Steps:
- Heat broiler. Toss peppers with 2 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet to coat and arrange cut side down. Broil, rotating baking sheet halfway through, until skin is blackened, 12-14 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 200°F and continue to roast peppers until very soft but not mushy, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly, then scrape off and discard skins. Cut peppers lengthwise into 1/2"-wide strips.
- Whisk lemon juice, jam, vinegar, and 4 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl. If fig jam is very coarse, use a fork to mash into smaller pieces; season dressing with salt. Mix in peppers; taste and season well with salt. Toss to coat.
- Just before serving, mix in oregano and drizzle generously with more oil.
- Peppers (without oregano) can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; chill.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm bell peppers. This will ensure that they roast evenly and have a good flavor.
- Roast the bell peppers at a low temperature. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too soft.
- Roast the bell peppers until they are slightly charred. This will give them a smoky flavor and make them easier to peel.
- Let the bell peppers cool slightly before handling them. This will help to prevent them from breaking.
- Use roasted bell peppers in a variety of dishes, such as salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes, and pizzas.
Conclusion:
Slow-roasted bell peppers are a delicious, versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful addition to your meal, try roasting some bell peppers.
