Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 - 1 1/2 lb. cod (fresh or frozen)
6-8 red potatoes (equals 8 cups diced)
3 Tbsp. olive oil (split)
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. kosher salt (split)
1/2 tsp. pepper (split)
1/4 cup jarred basil pesto
2 Tbsp. mayo
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
lemon slices for garnish
fresh herbs such as basil for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Thoroughly wash and scrub 6-8 red potatoes (or waxy potatoes of choice). Dice the potatoes into chunks, making sure they are all relatively the same size to ensure even cooking.
  • Once the potaotes are diced, place them on a large baking sheet. Drizzle 2 tablespoon olive oil over the potatoes, along with 2 teaspoon each of garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Add ¼ teaspoon each of kosher salt and pepper. Toss until completely coated.
  • Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven after 15 minutes.
  • If using frozen cod, allow the fish to thaw completely before use.
  • Once thawed, cut 1 - 1 ½ lbs. into evenly sized filets. Place them on a large plate or separate baking sheet. Pat both sides of the cod dry with paper towels.
  • Drizzle the fish with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle ¼ teaspoon each of kosher salt and pepper on the cod.
  • Place the cod on top of the halfway-roasted potatoes and arrange them so that the pieces of fish are not touching each other.
  • Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 15 minutes, or until the cod is finished cooking. Remove the pan from the oven.
  • Combine ¼ cup jarred basil pesto, 2 tablespoon mayo, and 2 tablespoon lemon juice in a small bowl.
  • Stir until completely combined using a fork or a small whisk.
  • Place a couple spoonfuls of roasted potatoes on a plate and drizzle them with desired amount of the pesto mayo.
  • Place a few cod filets over the top of the potatoes and sauce.
  • Squeeze some fresh lemon over the top of the dish. Garnish with fresh minced basil (optional).

ROASTED COD AND POTATOES



Roasted Cod and Potatoes image

When one of my daughters, Emma, was young, there was a time when her main passion in life was potatoes, especially crispy ones. For one special occasion, I produced a classic French dish, potatoes Anna, in which potatoes are thin-sliced, drenched in butter, carefully layered and roasted until golden. This was an error, of course; potatoes Anna is a pain to make. Naturally, the demand was unrelenting thereafter. So, in an attempt to make the effort more rational, I cut down on the butter, cut short the preparation time by enlisting the aid of the broiler during the last few minutes of cooking, and decided to turn this one dish into something approaching an entire meal. In the last few minutes, before the potatoes were cooked through, I placed a thick fillet of fish on top of the potatoes. The result is a simple weeknight dish that I now make routinely, and one that even seems to impress the occasional guest.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 or 5 medium potatoes, 2 pounds or more
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or melted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 pounds cod or other fillets, about 1-inch thick (skinned), in 2 or more pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Peel potatoes, and cut them into slices about 1/8-inch thick (a mandoline comes in handy here). Toss the potatoes in an 8-by-12-inch or similar size baking pan with 4 tablespoons of the oil or butter. Season the potatoes liberally, spread them evenly and place the pan in the oven.
  • Cook for about 40 minutes, checking once or twice, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a thin-bladed knife and have begun to brown on top. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Turn on the broiler, and adjust the rack so that it is 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Top the potatoes with the fish, drizzle with the remaining oil or butter and sprinkle with some more salt and pepper. Broil until the fish is done, 6 to 10 minutes, depending on its thickness (a thin-bladed knife will pass through it easily). If at any point the top of the potatoes begins to burn, move the pan a couple of inches farther away from the heat source.
