- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs (such as thyme, oregano, or basil)

For Roasted Vegetables:
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
In a small bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of the fish with the lemon herb mixture.
Arrange lemon slices on top of each fish fillet. This will add extra flavor during baking.
In a separate bowl, toss the mixed vegetables with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread the seasoned vegetables on the baking sheet around the fish fillets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The vegetables should be tender and slightly charred.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
