Fish
- 4 fresh white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia), about 6 ounces each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or thyme), chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet to create a colorful base.
- Season the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, lemon zest, and chopped fresh herbs to add fragrance and flavor.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the seasoned fish fillets on top of the vegetable layer on the baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender.
- Serve and Enjoy: Carefully transfer the fish and vegetables to plates. Garnish with additional fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired, and serve immediately to enjoy the vibrant flavors and perfect textures.
Notes
- Choose fresh fish for the best texture and flavor.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even roasting and crisping.
- Line the baking tray with parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Adjust baking time as needed—thicker fillets may require a few extra minutes.
- Add a splash of fresh lemon juice after baking to brighten the dish.
