Ingredients
1. For the vegetables
2. For the fish and topping
Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the pan
Heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F. Lightly oil a baking dish or line it with parchment so the vegetables release easily.
Soften the vegetables
Add zucchini, onion, and mushrooms to the pan. Drizzle with olive oil and add the margarine, then toss. Bake for 10 minutes to start softening them.
Add the fish
Remove the pan from the oven. Lay the orange roughy fillets over the vegetables. Sprinkle with black pepper and garlic powder.
Top with lemon and Parmesan
Place lemon slices on the fillets. Scatter Parmesan over the top in a thin, even layer.
Bake and serve
Return to the oven and bake 12–15 minutes, until the fish turns opaque and flakes easily. Rest for 2 minutes, then serve warm with the baked vegetables.
