Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) cod fillets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 medium, sliced zucchini
• 1 large, sliced red bell pepper
• 1 large, sliced yellow bell pepper
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 small, sliced red onion

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, basil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined and set aside.

Step 3

Place the cod fillets on one side of the prepared baking sheet and brush them with the herb and olive oil mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion.

Step 5

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables and toss them gently to coat evenly.

Step 6

Arrange the vegetables on the other side of the baking sheet, spread out evenly.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cod fillets are cooked through and flaky, with the vegetables becoming tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve each cod fillet with a generous portion of the roasted mixed vegetables for a healthy, low carb meal.
