Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the zucchini, carrot, and red bell pepper into thin julienne strips.
Chop the parsley finely and set aside.
Slice the lemon in half. Juice one half and thinly slice the other half into rounds.
Lay out four sheets of parchment paper or aluminum foil on your work surface. Each sheet should be approximately 12 inches long.
Place one orange roughy fillet in the middle of each sheet of parchment or foil.
Arrange equal portions of the julienned zucchini, carrot, and red bell pepper on top of each fillet.
Drizzle each fillet and its vegetable topping with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and a splash of lemon juice.
Season each bundle with a pinch of salt, ground black pepper, and 1/2 tablespoon of chopped parsley.
Top each fillet with a slice of lemon for garnish and added flavor.
Fold the parchment paper or foil over the fish and vegetables, sealing the edges tightly to form a secure pouch. If using foil, crimp the edges to prevent steam from escaping.
Place the packets on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open the packets to release the steam and serve immediately, either in the pouches or plated with sides of your choice.
