Step 1
Start rice in a pot with 2 cups salted water. Bring to boil, then cover and reduce heat to low.
Step 2
Toss sweet potato wedges and bitter melon halves with 2 tbsp oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a large sheet pan.
Step 3
Roast vegetables at 425°F for 12 minutes until sweet potato begins to soften.
Step 4
Pat fish dry. Mix harissa with 1 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt. Coat both sides of fillets.

Push roasted vegetables to the sides of the pan. Lay fish in the center, scatter bell pepper strips around it.
Step 6
Roast 10–12 minutes more until fish flakes easily and edges of vegetables crisp.
Step 7
Toast cumin seeds in a dry skillet 30 seconds, then stir into cooked rice. Squeeze lemon over fish.
