Equipment

  • Large rimmed baking sheet
  • nonstick spray
  • Mixing bowl or large liquid measuring cup
  • Oven preheated to 400°F

Ingredients
  

For the Fish and Vegetables:

  • 4 medium carrots peeled and sliced into ¼-inch thick diagonals (about 10 ounces or heaping 1½ cups)
  • 2 cups sugar snap peas about 8 ounces
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced into ¾-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
  • 4 6-ounce cod fillets (or other firm, flaky white fish like halibut; wild-caught if available)

For the Sauce:

  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons sambal oelek adjust to 1 teaspoon for less heat
  • 3 cloves garlic finely minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly minced ginger

For Serving:

  • 1 small lime sliced into wedges
  • Chopped green onion
  • Prepared brown rice or quinoa optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat and Prep: Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Preheat oven to 400°F and place the rack in the center. Arrange the carrots, snap peas, and bell pepper evenly in the center of the tray.
  • Make the Sauce: In a mixing bowl or measuring cup, stir together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, sambal oelek, garlic, and ginger. Pour half of this mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat well. Spread vegetables in an even layer and roast for 15 minutes.
  • Add the Fish: Once the vegetables are partially cooked, shift them to the sides of the pan. Place the fish fillets in the center. Drizzle the fillets with half of the remaining sauce, then brush more sauce over the tops. Keep the rest for serving. Bake for 11–13 minutes more, until the fish is opaque and easily flakes.
  • Finishing Touches: After baking, drizzle extra sauce on the fish. Squeeze fresh lime over the entire pan and top with green onions. Serve warm alongside brown rice or quinoa if desired.

Notes

  • Want extra sauce for future meals? Make a larger batch and refrigerate for easy stir-fry use during the week.
  • If using a milder chili paste, the dish will be family-friendly with just the right amount of warmth.
