Ingredients

• 4 pieces Orange roughy fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 medium Zucchini (sliced into thin rounds)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1 large Bell pepper (sliced into strips)
• 1 large Carrot (peeled and thinly sliced)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Rinse the orange roughy fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 4

Brush the marinade over both sides of the fish fillets and set aside while you prepare the vegetables.

Step 5

Prepare the vegetables by slicing the zucchini, halving the cherry tomatoes, slicing the bell pepper into strips, and peeling and thinly slicing the carrot.

Step 6

In a large baking dish, arrange the vegetables evenly to create a bed for the fish. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Place the marinated orange roughy fillets on top of the vegetables in the baking dish.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
