Ingredients

Scale

1 white fish fillet (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
Salt and black pepper
1 carrot (peeled and cut into sticks)
1 zucchini (sliced into rounds)
2 garlic cloves (whole or halved)
1 tbsp butter or olive oil

Heat half the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic, carrots, and zucchini for 6-8 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
Season the fish fillet with salt and pepper. In the same pan, melt the remaining butter and sear the fish over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and flaky. Add lemon juice during the last 30 seconds.
