Ingredients

Scale

Fish

  • 4 fresh white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)

Vegetables

  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small red onion, chopped

Seasonings and Others

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, or dill), chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces to ensure even roasting. Toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic to infuse flavor.
  2. Arrange Vegetables on Baking Tray: Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly in a single layer on a large baking sheet, leaving space to add the fish without overcrowding, to allow proper roasting.
  3. Season and Add the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Place the seasoned fillets on top of or next to the vegetables on the baking sheet.
  4. Add Herbs and Bake: Scatter the fresh chopped herbs evenly over the fish and vegetables. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender with slightly golden edges.
  5. Finish and Serve: Once baked, optionally drizzle additional lemon juice and olive oil over the dish to enhance freshness and richness. Serve immediately with your choice of side or garnish as desired.

Notes

  • Use the freshest fish possible for best texture and flavor.
  • Chop vegetables uniformly for consistent cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to prevent steaming instead of roasting.
  • Monitor cooking time closely as thinner fillets cook faster and can dry out.
  • Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
