🛒 Ingredients

For the Cod:
- 2 cod fillets (6–8 oz each)

- Juice of 1/2 lemon

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Toss the broccoli, carrots, and red onion with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on one side of the baking sheet.

Place cod fillets on the other side of the sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, herbs, salt, and pepper evenly over the top.
