Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Halve the new potatoes and toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking tray and roast 20 min.
- After 20 min, push the potatoes to one side. Place the cod fillets on the tray.
- Mince the garlic. Melt the butter and mix with minced garlic and the juice and zest of the lemon.
- Spoon the lemon-garlic butter over the cod. Season with salt and pepper.
- Return to the oven for 12–15 min until the cod is opaque and flakes easily when pressed.
- Meanwhile, blanch the tenderstem broccoli in boiling salted water for 3 min, then drain.
- Plate the potatoes, cod, and broccoli together. Spoon over any cooking juices from the tray and scatter with chopped fresh parsley.
Recipe notes
Swap cod for any white fish — tilapia or hake work equally well and can be cheaper.
