Baked Fish with Vegetables
Vegetables and fish cook at different speeds, so they go in one after the other: potatoes first, fish twenty minutes later. That way the vegetables brown and the fillets stay juicy. The lemon goes on at the very end — bake it too long and the peel turns bitter.

Method
-
Step 1: Heat the oven
Set the oven to 200 °C and brush a baking tray with a spoonful of the oil.
-
Step 2: Slice the vegetables
Cut the potatoes into 5 mm rounds, the carrots into thin half-moons and the onions into rings. Thin potatoes have time to brown.
-
Step 3: Roast the vegetables
Toss them with two tablespoons of oil, salt, pepper and thyme, spread in an even layer and roast for 20 minutes.
-
Step 4: Prepare the fish
Pat the fillets dry and rub with salt, pepper and the remaining oil. Wet fish steams instead of roasting.
-
Step 5: Add the fish
Take out the tray, stir the vegetables, lay the fillets on top and return to the oven for 15 minutes.
-
Step 6: Lemon at the end
Five minutes before the end, lay thin lemon slices over the fish. Any longer and the peel turns bitter.
-
Step 7: Check and serve
The fish is ready when it is white through and flakes with a fork. Serve straight from the tray.
Tips & variations
-
Tip
Thaw frozen fillets in the fridge and squeeze them dry — the water turns the dish into a stew.
-
Variation
With salmon or trout cut the fish time to 10 minutes; oily fish cooks faster.
-
Tip
For a browned top, switch on the grill element for the last 3 minutes and stay by the oven.
-
Storage
Keeps 2 days in the fridge. Reheat under foil so the fish does not dry out.
