A light and flavorful white fish dinner featuring tender white fish fillets baked with fresh lemon, garlic, and herbs, served alongside roasted vegetables for a healthy and satisfying meal.
4 white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock), about 6 ounces each, skin removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound baby potatoes, halved
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
1 tablespoon olive oil (for vegetables)
1/2 teaspoon salt (for vegetables)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (for vegetables)
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the baby potatoes, red bell pepper, and zucchini with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
While the vegetables roast, prepare the fish marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried thyme, dried parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
After the vegetables have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and push the vegetables to the sides to make space in the center.
Place the white fish fillets in the center of the baking sheet. Brush the fish evenly with the lemon herb marinade.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the oven and serve the fish fillets with the roasted vegetables immediately.
