- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 lemon half juiced, half sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh herbs parsley, thyme, and dill recommended
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground

For the Roasted Vegetables

- 1 red onion cut into wedges
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 fresh rosemary sprigs
- 2 tsp dried oregano

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the Corbina fillets dry. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, herbs, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Rub mixture over fillets, especially on the skin side. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Toss zucchini, bell peppers, onion, and tomatoes with oil, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
- Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes.
- Place seasoned Corbina fillets skin-side down on the second baking sheet. Top each with a lemon slice. Add to the oven next to the vegetables.
- Roast fish and vegetables together for 12–15 minutes, until fish flakes easily and reaches 145°F. Veggies should be caramelized.
- Serve fish with roasted vegetables. Garnish with fresh herbs and extra lemon juice.
Notes
Use white sea bass, halibut, or sand bass if you can’t find Corbina. For a Mediterranean version, add olives and preserved lemon. Add cilantro and lime for a Mexican flair. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat gently at 275°F covered with foil.
