Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lay out 4 large sheets of aluminum foil, each approximately 12x16 inches.
Rinse and pat dry the haddock fillets. Place one fillet in the center of each foil sheet.
Slice the zucchini into thin half-moons and dice the red onion into small wedges.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, zucchini slices, red onion, Kalamata olives, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and fresh lemon juice until evenly coated.
Divide the vegetable mixture evenly among the foil packets, spooning it around and on top of each haddock fillet.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the fish for added moisture.
Optionally, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the vegetables and fish for an extra layer of Mediterranean flavor.
Fold the sides of each foil sheet up and over the fish and vegetables, sealing the packets tightly to trap the steam.
Transfer the packets to a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the haddock is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open the foil packets, as the steam will be hot, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the haddock packets directly from the foil for an easy and rustic presentation or transfer to plates if preferred.
