You can make this with a few different types - cod would be great (my go-to), but here I used an orange roughy white fish that I found at Costco. I had never heard of it before that trip, but we liked the texture and taste of the fish.

For this white fish bake, you can use any veggies that sound good that will cook fairly quickly - I went fairly classic with this recipe with peppers, onions, olive oil, citrus and herbs. I diced the veggies small-ish since I only baked the fish for about 15 minutes. The cooking time will depend on how thick the filets were, but for about half an inch I found that this cooking time worked well.

Pulling this dish together is easy - add diced veggeis to a big baking dish, add the fish, then drizzle on olive oil and citrus juice (I used lemon and orange here). You can add herbs, salt and pepper at the end. I used heres de provence and dill, which turned out great. To mix it up, you could use zataar, basil, parsley....whatever sounds good to you! It's great served with rice since there is a bit of a sauce at the end of from the juices of the vegetables + olive oil + citrus. A light and tasty evening meal.

Let me know if you try it out, and enjoy!!
