Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 whole lemon
• 3 pieces mixed colorful bell peppers
• 2 pieces zucchini
• 1 whole red onion
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 3 pieces garlic cloves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and slice the bell peppers and zucchini into 1/2-inch strips. Peel and cut the red onion into wedges.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the sliced vegetables. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, half of the salt, half of the black pepper, the rosemary, and two minced garlic cloves. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and edges start to caramelize.

Step 5

While the vegetables are roasting, pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with the remaining salt and pepper.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the remaining garlic clove (minced) and let it infuse for about 30 seconds.

Step 7

Carefully place the fish fillets in the skillet. Sear each side for about 3-4 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and has a golden crust.

Step 8

Slice the lemon in half. Squeeze one half over the fish fillets while they cook, and slice the other half into wedges for serving.

Step 9

Once the fish is cooked, remove from the heat and let it rest for a minute.

Step 10

Serve the pan-seared fish hot with a side of roasted vegetables, garnished with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
