Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Season fish with 1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) salt, plus black pepper and lemon zest. Place on a lined baking sheet skin-side down and bake 12 minutes, or until flesh is opaque and flakes easily.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups (500 mL) water to a boil. Add corn and lima beans, and simmer just until tender, about three minutes. Drain and let cool.
