Ingredients

• 4 pieces Cod fillets
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 whole Lemon
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 large Carrots
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

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 3 tablespoons of olive oil with the juice from 1 lemon. Finely mince the garlic and add it to the mixture. Set aside for flavor infusion.

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables: slice the carrots, deseed and slice the red bell pepper, and cut the zucchini into half-moons. Keep broccoli florets bite-sized.

Step 4

Place the broccoli florets, carrot slices, red bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Drizzle the vegetables with half of the lemon-garlic olive oil mixture. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to make space for the cod fillets. Brush each fillet with the remaining lemon-garlic olive oil mixture and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Serve each cod fillet with a generous portion of mixed vegetables. Squeeze extra lemon over the top if desired.
