Ingredients
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, dried parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
- 2Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning and crispness.
- 3While the potatoes are roasting, pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil with dried dill, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over both sides of the cod fillets.
- 4After the potatoes have roasted for 20 minutes, carefully move them to one side of the baking sheet to make room for the fish. Place the seasoned cod fillets on the other half of the baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer and not overcrowded.
- 5Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 12-18 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Cooking time for fish will vary based on thickness.
- 6Carefully transfer the baked cod and roasted potatoes to plates. Garnish with fresh chopped chives and serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the fish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of white fish?
Absolutely! Haddock, tilapia, or pollock would be excellent substitutes for cod in this recipe. Adjust cooking times slightly based on the thickness of the fillets.
How do I prevent the fish from sticking to the baking sheet?
Using parchment paper is key. You can also lightly grease the parchment paper or use a non-stick baking mat. Ensuring the fish is patted dry also helps create a better sear and prevents sticking.
What other herbs can I use for the potatoes?
Rosemary, thyme, or oregano would all be delicious additions or substitutions for the dried parsley. Fresh herbs can also be used, just increase the amount slightly.
