# What You Need:
→ Fish
01 - 2 small white fish fillets (approximately 4.2 oz each, such as cod or sole)
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
04 - Salt, to taste
05 - Black pepper, to taste
→ Vegetables
06 - 1 small carrot
07 - 1 small zucchini
08 - 1/2 red bell pepper
09 - 1/2 yellow bell pepper
10 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
→ Decoration
11 - 4 black olives
12 - 2 slices cucumber
# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - Place the fish fillets flat on a cutting board. Trim one end into a point to form the fish head and cut small notches along the sides to create fins.
03 - Brush fillets with olive oil, then sprinkle with lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Arrange on the prepared baking tray.
04 - Slice carrot, zucchini, and bell peppers thinly. Layer these colorful slices over the fish to mimic scales, reserving some for the tail and fins.
05 - Use a slice of black olive for the eye and a cucumber slice for the mouth. Arrange remaining vegetable slices to form the tail and fins.
06 - Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the fish is fully cooked and vegetables remain tender and vibrant.
07 - Carefully transfer the fish design onto serving plates. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
