Quick Summary

A balanced, high-protein meal featuring tender white fish fillets and oven-roasted carrots seasoned with thyme and honey. It is simple, nutrient-dense, and ready in under 40 minutes.

Ingredients

For the Fish

4 fillets (6oz each) cod or tilapia
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 lemon, thinly sliced

For the Carrots

1 lb rainbow carrots, scrubbed
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp fresh thyme
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Toss carrots with honey, olive oil, thyme, and salt on a baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
3. Push carrots to the side. Place fish on the sheet. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon slices.
4. Roast for another 10–12 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Stewart's Secret: For extra depth, use a microplane to zest a little lemon over the carrots immediately after they come out of the oven. It brightens the earthiness of the vegetables perfectly.
