Ingredients:

  • 4 (6 oz / 170g) tilapia fillets
  • 4 tbsp (60ml) olive oil
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (3g) garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp (6g) salt
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) black pepper
  • 2 cups (150g) broccoli florets
  • 1 cup (130g) sliced carrots
  • 1 cup (150g) sliced red bell pepper
  • 1 lemon, sliced into rounds

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, toss the 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 cup sliced carrots, and 1 cup sliced red bell pepper with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. In a second mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Pat the 4 tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel and coat them thoroughly in the marinade.
  5. Spread the seasoned vegetables across the baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space in the center for the fish, and roast for 5-7 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven, slide the tilapia fillets into the center gaps, and place one lemon slice atop each fillet.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the tilapia is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove from the oven and let the fish rest for 2 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before serving.
