This sheet pan meal has roasted halibut (or cod), roasted tomatoes and zucchini that is so quick and easy to make. The smokey romesco sauce livens up the fish and veggies for an easy and delicious meal. Romesco is a rich, tomato-based sauce that was often made by fishermen to eat with their daily catch. This smoky sauce is delicious over mild fish, on roasted  vegetables, or as a bruschetta. If you have the time, let the sauce sit at room temperature for an hour so the flavors can blend.
