Ingredients

  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for garlic)
  • 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon (chicken or vegetable base)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets and diced stems
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced and halved
  • 4 ounces mushrooms, sliced into thirds
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into triangles
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil (divided)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Chop all vegetables as described. Toss with 2 tsp olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  3. Pat fish fillets dry. Rub each with 1 tsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread vegetables on a large baking sheet. Make spaces for fish fillets and place them on the sheet.
  5. Make a foil boat for garlic, drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil, and place in a corner of the pan.
  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes. Remove garlic when soft; continue baking if needed.
  7. Mash roasted garlic into a paste. In a skillet, heat ½ tbsp olive oil and garlic paste for 30 seconds.
  8. Add Better Than Bouillon, water, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and balsamic vinegar. Simmer 3–5 minutes until reduced by half. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted.
  9. Brush or drizzle half the sauce over the fish and veggies. Return tray to oven and bake for 13–15 minutes, until fish flakes easily.
  10. Plate and spoon remaining sauce over each serving before serving.

Notes

  • Use any firm white fish or even salmon.
  • Swap veggies based on preference or availability.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter or omit it.
  • Add red pepper flakes or paprika for a spicier version.
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or dill enhance flavor when added at the end.
