Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (400Β°F).
Peel and chop the carrots and parsnips into bite-sized pieces. Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Slice the red onion into wedges.
Place the prepared vegetables on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the vegetables roast, pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and season with the remaining salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cod fillets, skin side down if applicable, and cook for 2β3 minutes until the edges begin to brown.
Flip the fillets gently, add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet, and baste the fish with the melted butter using a spoon.
Once the vegetables have roasted for 20 minutes, make some space on the baking sheet and transfer the cod fillets to the same pan.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and cook for an additional 8β10 minutes, or until the cod fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cod and vegetables for a burst of brightness.
Serve immediately, arranging the cod fillets on plates alongside the roasted winter vegetables. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
