Roast Cod with Crisp Potatoes
Why I Love This Recipe
"A splash of fresh lemon juice at the very end takes this dish to the next flavor level."
Ingredients You'll Need
3 lbs Yukon gold or new potatoes, halved (if small) or cut into 1 1/2" chunks (Peel first if desired)
3 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
6- 6 oz. cod fillets, skin removed
Zest of 1/2 lemon
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives (optional)
Directions
Heat oven to 450-f degrees.
Place the potatoes in a large roasting pan. Drizzle with 3 Tbsp. of the oil and toss to coat.
Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. of the salt and 1/4 tsp of the pepper.
Roast for 20 minutes.
Stir and roast for additional 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, rinse the cod fillets and pat them dry with paper towels.
After the 30 minutes of roasting, move the potatoes to the sides of the pan and place the fillets in the center.
Drizzle with the remaining oil and sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper.
Redistribute the potatoes around the fillets. Roast until the fillets are the same color throughout and flake easily, about 10-15 minutes.
Top with the lemon zest, lemon juice and chives (if using).
