Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the fish fillets on a large sheet of parchment paper on a baking tray.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the fish fillets.
Spread the minced garlic evenly over the fish fillets.
Arrange the sliced zucchini, red bell pepper, julienned carrots, and halved cherry tomatoes around the fish.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil and lemon juice over the vegetables.
Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves over the fish and vegetables.
Fold the parchment paper over the fish and vegetables to create a sealed packet.
Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the fish is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the tray from the oven and carefully open the parchment paper.
Garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot, directly from the parchment, ensuring each serving includes both fish and vegetables.
