Ingredients

  • 4 fillets white fish fillets
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 onion
  • 1 lemon
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups cooked rice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the 4 fish fillets in a lightly oiled baking dish and season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Chop the 1 red bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, 1 zucchini, and 1 onion into small dice. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt.

  3. 3

    Scatter the vegetable mixture over and around the fish. Bake until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    While the fish bakes, warm the 2 cups cooked rice in a microwave or saucepan.

  5. 5

    Remove the baking dish from the oven. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the fish and vegetables, then drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.

  6. 6

    Serve the fish and vegetable salsa over the warm rice, with extra lemon wedges if desired.
