Make

  1. Place all roasted red pepper sauce ingredients in a blender or in a container for immersion blender. Blend and then season to taste with salt.
  2. Oven directions for fish: Position top rack of the oven so it's about 6" (15 cm) below broiler. Turn on broiler to pre-heat. Line a sheet pan with foil and spray with cooking oil. Place fish on foil, and broil for 10 to 12 minutes.
  3. Stovetop directions for fish: Heat up a skillet over medium-high heat and then add cooking oil. Add fish seasoned side down to heated oil. Sear for ~3 minutes on each side. Lower heat to medium, cover with lid or foil and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until fish is flaky.
  4. After protein is done (if you can handle multiple pans cooking, you can do this at the same time as protein), heat a saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then garlic to heated oil. Once you can smell the garlic, add the carrots with a dash of salt. Saute for about 2 minutes and then add zucchini. Saute for another 2 to 3 minutes to your desired level of crunchiness.
  5. Enjoy both your fish and vegetables with roasted red pepper sauce and lemon wedges.
