  3. Clear space in the middle of the sheet pan to add the fish. Place fish on sheet pan and lightly drizzle with remaining 2 teaspoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Roast for 15 minutes, sprinkle peas over the vegetables and return to the oven
  5. Roast for another 2-5 minutes or until the fish is just cooked through. (see cooking tips above)
  6. While the fish is cooking, make the lemon herb sauce.
  7. When the fish is done, drizzle cooked fish and vegetables with lemon herb sauce and garnish with lemon slices.

Lemon Herb Sauce*

  1. In a food processor combine 1 clove garlic, parsley, cilantro, dill, scallion, lemon zest, lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon salt, pinch of black pepper and olive oil, process until chopped into a sauce with some texture, not smooth.
  2. Taste to adjust salt. Set aside while the fish cooks.

Notes

If you don’t feel like making the sauce, the dish taste delicious even without it. At the end sprinkle the fish and vegetables with 2 tablespoons parsley and 2 tablespoons dill.

Look for thin asparagus that are about the same thickness as string beans.  If they’re thick, cut them in half lengthwise.
