Instructions

step 1

Prepare the ingredients

Remove the butter from the refrigerator to soften. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Fill a medium pot (or large for 4 servings) 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Quarter and deseed the lemon(s). Halve the zucchini lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Roughly chop the peppers. In a bowl, combine the romesco sauce, mayonnaise, and the juice of 2 lemon wedges (or 4 wedges for 4 servings). Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

step 2

Roast the fish

Pat the fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Line a sheet pan with foil. Coat the center of the foil with a drizzle of olive oil. Transfer the seasoned fish to the oiled portion of the foil. Evenly spread the softened butter onto the fish, then top with the breadcrumbs (pressing gently to adhere). Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast 8 to 12 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are lightly browned and the fish is cooked through. Remove from the oven.  

The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for fish.
