How to use this list
Work through the list in order. Start by picking up 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper for the base. You’ll need 4 cod fillets and 12 ounces green beans for the main bake. For the sauce, grab 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, 3 garlic cloves, 1 lemon, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley. Prep the potatoes first so they get a head start in the oven. While they roast, trim the green beans and pat the cod fillets dry. Melt the butter and mince the garlic for the sauce.
What to skip
Don’t swap cod for a thicker fish unless you adjust bake time—cod cooks quickly. Avoid bottled lemon juice; use a fresh lemon for best flavor. Don’t overload the sheet pan or the vegetables will steam instead of roast. If you’re tempted to use salted butter, reduce the kosher salt so the dish doesn’t turn out too salty.
