• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Bowl
• Thermometer

Ingredients:

• 1⁄4 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 oz Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 Lemon (zest, and juice)
• 1 tbsp Garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp Dill (minced)
• 1 tbsp Creole seasoning
• 1⁄2 tbsp Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tbsp Seasoned salt
• 1⁄2 tbsp Black pepper
• 1 1⁄2 pounds Rockfish fillet
• 1 pound Cherry tomatoes
• 1⁄2 pound Asparagus
• 1 large Red onion (sliced)
• 1⁄2 Red bell pepper (sliced)
• Lemon slices (optiona)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400℉/205℃. Line the baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper, then lightly spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk olive oil, melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, chopped dill, Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
3. In a large bowl, add prepared vegetables: cherry tomato, asparagus, onion, and bell pepper. Pour half of the garlic/creole/butter sauce over the vegetables and stir to coat them with the sauce. Transfer the vegetables to a thin layer on half the baking sheet with tongs.
4. Rinse rockfish, place them on a plate, and pat dry with a paper towel. On both sides, generously brush the rockfish with the seasoning sauce. In a single layer, transfer them to the other half of the baking sheet.
5. Pour the remaining sauce over the fish fillets and vegetables and evenly distribute it with a brush. Place lemon slices (if used) on the fish and vegetables.
6. Bake at 400℉/205℃ for 15-18 minutes, then place on the top rack of the oven and broil on high for another 2-3 minutes (the cherry tomatoes will begin popping).
7. Garnish with fresh dill and serve immediately.
