Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Rinse the orange roughy fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create the marinade.
Brush the marinade over both sides of the fish fillets and set aside while you prepare the vegetables.
Prepare the vegetables by slicing the zucchini, halving the cherry tomatoes, slicing the bell pepper into strips, and peeling and thinly slicing the carrot.
In a large baking dish, arrange the vegetables evenly to create a bed for the fish. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Place the marinated orange roughy fillets on top of the vegetables in the baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
