# What You'll Need:
→ Fish
01 - 2 small white fish fillets (e.g., cod or sole), approximately 4.2 oz (120 g) each
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
04 - Salt and pepper, to taste
→ Vegetables
05 - 1 small carrot
06 - 1 small zucchini
07 - 1/2 red bell pepper
08 - 1/2 yellow bell pepper
09 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
→ Decoration
10 - 4 black olives (for eyes and scales)
11 - 2 slices cucumber (for fish mouth and tail)
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - Place the fish fillets flat and trim one end into a point to form the fish head. Cut small notches along the sides to mimic fins.
03 - Brush fillets evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle with lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Arrange on the prepared tray.
04 - Slice carrot, zucchini, and bell peppers thinly and layer them over the fillets to create colorful scales. Reserve some slices for tail and fins.
05 - Use olive slices to form the eyes and cucumber slices to shape the mouth and tail, completing the fish design.
06 - Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the fish is fully cooked and vegetables are tender but retain vibrant color.
07 - Transfer carefully to plates, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
