Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). On a large baking sheet, toss potato wedges with 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer.
- 2Bake potato wedges for 20 minutes, then flip them over. Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- 3While potatoes bake, pat cod fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- 4Place cod fillets on a separate parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush or rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the fish.
- 5Once potatoes have cooked for 35-40 minutes, place the baking sheet with the cod into the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- 6Serve the baked cod immediately with the crispy potato wedges, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I air fry the potato wedges?
Yes, air frying is a great option for extra crispy wedges! Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and tender.
What other fish can I use?
Haddock, tilapia, or snapper are excellent substitutes for cod in this recipe. Adjust baking time slightly based on the thickness of the fillet.
How do I prevent the fish from sticking to the baking sheet?
Always line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This ensures easy release and makes cleanup a breeze.
