Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Haddock fillets
• 1 medium (sliced into thin rounds) Zucchini
• 2 medium (julienned) Carrots
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 medium (thinly sliced) Red bell pepper
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium (sliced into thin rounds) Lemon
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the zucchini and red bell pepper, julienne the carrots, and cut the broccoli into small florets.

Step 2

In a large skillet or a steaming pot with a lid, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Place the sliced zucchini, carrots, broccoli florets, and bell pepper in an even layer across the bottom of the skillet or steaming basket.

Step 4

Season the vegetables with half of the salt and black pepper. Lay the haddock fillets over the vegetables.

Step 5

Sprinkle the remaining salt and pepper over the haddock fillets. Top each fillet with a lemon slice.

Step 6

Pour 1 cup of water into the skillet or steaming pot. Cover tightly with a lid.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the haddock and vegetables steam for about 15-20 minutes, or until the haddock is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Carefully remove the lid to let the steam escape, and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish for a fresh, bright finish.

Step 9

Serve immediately, either as is or alongside a serving of rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
