Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cod fillets 6 oz each, fresh or fully thawed
  • 1 lb green beans trimmed
  • 3 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1 lemon zested, juiced and thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped (or 2 tsp dried)
  • 1/2 tsp salt divided
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment. Toss the green beans with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt and a pinch of pepper, spread in a single layer and roast for 7 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, pat the cod dry and season both sides with the remaining 1/4 tsp salt and the black pepper.
  3. Whisk the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil with the garlic, lemon zest, 1 tbsp lemon juice, dill and red pepper flakes.
  4. Pull the pan out, push the beans to the edges, place the cod in the center, spoon the lemon-dill mixture over each fillet and top with a lemon slice.
  5. Roast 12 to 14 minutes, until the cod flakes easily with a fork (145°F) and the beans are tender-crisp.
  6. Spoon the pan juices over the fish and serve hot.
