Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and pat dry the fish fillets. Set them aside on a plate.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil, black pepper, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade evenly over the fish fillets. Allow them to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
Chop the zucchini, bell peppers, carrot, and red onion into even-sized pieces for uniform roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with the remaining olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Toss until the vegetables are well coated.
Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet. Place them in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
While the vegetables are roasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the fish fillets to the hot skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a golden crust.
Remove the fish from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.
Serve the pan-seared fish alongside the roasted vegetables. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
