Ingredients

• 4 pieces fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or salmon)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 whole lemon
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 medium bell pepper (any color)
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 bunch asparagus
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash the zucchini, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Trim the ends of the zucchini and slice it into half-moon pieces. Cut the bell peppers into strips and halve the cherry tomatoes. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine zucchini, bell peppers, tomatoes, and asparagus. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle the Italian seasoning, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are in a single layer.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through until they are tender and slightly charred.

Step 6

While the vegetables are roasting, pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with remaining salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 7

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Once the oil is hot, add the fish fillets and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

Juice the lemon and drizzle it over the cooked fish, adding a bright, fresh flavor.

Step 10

Serve the pan-seared fish alongside the roasted vegetables. Enjoy your low-carb, healthy meal.
