Ingredients
Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). On a large baking sheet, toss the halved new potatoes with 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Spread them in a single layer and roast for 15 minutes.
- 2While potatoes roast, prepare the green beans. In a medium bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
- 3After the potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, add the seasoned green beans to the same baking sheet, spreading them evenly. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes.
- 4Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, fresh lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place the cod fillets on the baking sheet among the vegetables (you might need to push vegetables aside slightly to make room).
- 5Spoon or brush the lemon-dill mixture evenly over each cod fillet. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender.
- 6Serve immediately with lemon wedges for an extra squeeze of freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen cod fillets?
Yes, you can use frozen cod fillets, but ensure they are fully thawed and patted very dry before seasoning and baking to prevent a watery dish. Baking time might need to be adjusted slightly.
What other vegetables can I roast with the fish?
Broccoli florets, bell peppers, or even asparagus spears (added for the last 10 minutes of cooking) would be delicious substitutions or additions to the roasted vegetables.
How do I know when the fish is cooked through?
Cod is done when it turns opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
