Roasted Swai and Vegetables over Quinoa

Billy asks for this dish all the time. I found it on my whole foods app. It's so easy to prepare and packed full of flavor. I've even used different veggies and different nut/fresh herb combos.

Instructions:
2 carrots, cut into 2-inch sticks
1 large yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes
1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
4 (3-ounce) pieces mild white fish fillet such as tilapia, swai, or sole
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1c quinoa, cooked according to package
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
3 tablespoons pine nuts

Preheat oven to 400°F and line a 9- x 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Place carrots, bell pepper, tomatoes, onion, garlic and ⅛ teaspoon salt in the pan and toss. Bake in the top third of the oven until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.

Stir vegetables, arrange fish on top and sprinkle with remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt, lemon zest and juice and bake until fish is just cooked through, 15 to 20 more minutes. Transfer fish and vegetables to plates or a platter along with the quinoa and sprinkle with cilantro and pine nuts.
