Ingredients

• 2 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 whole lemon
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 1 large zucchini
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium red onion
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Slice the zucchini into half-moons. Cut the red bell pepper and red onion into similar-sized chunks.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 4

Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Step 5

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and starting to brown, stirring halfway through.

Step 6

While the vegetables are roasting, pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme.

Step 7

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Once the oil is hot, add the fish fillets to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until a nice golden crust forms.

Step 9

Flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Mince the garlic and add to the skillet during the last minute of cooking to briefly sauté.

Step 11

Cut the lemon in half and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cooked fish.

Step 12

Serve the pan-seared fish immediately, accompanied by a generous portion of roasted vegetables.
