Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the steelhead trout fillets on one baking sheet.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the fillets, then squeeze the juice and sprinkle the zest of the lemon on top. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- In a large bowl, toss the asparagus, carrots, red bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and minced garlic with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
- Spread the vegetable mixture evenly on the second baking sheet.
- Place both baking sheets in the preheated oven. Roast the steelhead trout for about 15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork, and roast the vegetables for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Once cooked, serve the roasted steelhead trout fillets alongside the colorful roasted vegetables. Drizzle any remaining lemon juice over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
Tips
- For extra flavor, marinate the steelhead trout in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Feel free to substitute or add any seasonal vegetables to the roasting mix, such as sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, or cherry tomatoes.
