Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Cut the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces and place them on a large baking sheet. Add the cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the vegetables with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika over them. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the fish. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the fish fillets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is slightly browned and flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the cooked fish to a plate and squeeze half of the lemon over the fish.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it on top of the fish.
Once the vegetables are roasted, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
Serve the pan-seared fish alongside the roasted vegetables, garnishing with lemon wedges from the remaining half of the lemon, if desired.
