Provencal Cod, Potatoes & String Beans
Back to Blog List

Thursday night, we had my Kraft macaroni and cheese dish that I add tuna and peas, plus real cheese.  

Friday, I made this really simple meal.  It was very good and I actually had all the ingredients.  We are still iced in.  I had gone recipe serving on the Food TV app, plugging in from things in the freezer.  This recipe comes from the Food Network Kitchen.  It is a one sheet pan meal. 

Ingredients: 

1# small white potatoes, thinly sliced

1/4 C + 1 T EVOO

1 t herbes de Provence

Kosher salt and ground pepper

8 oz, green beans, trimmed

2 small tomatoes, diced (I had 3 small canned tomatoes in the freezer, used them.)

1/3 C pitted kalamata olives, roughly chopped

2 T fresh lemon juice

4-6 oz. cod fillets

Chopped fresh parsley, for topping (did not use)

Directions:

  1. Put a rimmed baking sheet in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F.  (I lined mine with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.)
  2. Combine the potatoes, 2 T oil and 1/2 t herbs de Provence in a large bowl; season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the beans, 1 T oil and remaining 1/2 t heroes de Provence; season generously with slat and pepper.
  4. Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven; add the potatoes in a single layer on one side of the pan and beans on the other side.  Roast until potatoes are browned and the beans are tender, about 20 minutes.  
  5. Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, olives, remaining 2 T oil, lemon juice, 1/2 t salt and a pinch of pepper in a small bowl; set aside.  
  6. Season the cod all over with salt.  
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven.  Separately stir the potatoes and beans with a spatula and push to the sides of the pan, leaving a space in the middle.  Place the cod in the middle of the pan and top with half of the tomato mixture. (I spread it all and only had 3 filets.)  Roast until the cod is opaque, 10-12 minutes.  
  8. Sprinkle potatoes with parsley.  Serve with remaining tomato mixture.  

Jim hated the sauce on the cod and scraped it all off.  I liked it.  He insisted the cod be in for the 12 minutes.  I thought it was slightly overcooked.
