Ingredients

  • cod fillet 6 oz
  • sweet potatoes 1 medium
  • green beans 1 cup
  • olive oil 1 tbsp
  • lemon juice 1 tbsp

Method

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Sweet Potatoes. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and peel the sweet potato, then cut it into evenly sized cubes about 1-inch thick. This ensures they cook evenly and become tender.
    Tip: Cutting the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces helps them roast evenly.
  2. Roast Sweet Potatoes. Place the sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with half the olive oil (about 1/2 tbsp) and toss to coat evenly. Spread them out in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and tender.
    Tip: Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easier cleanup.
  3. Prepare Cod Fillet. While the sweet potatoes roast, pat the cod fillet dry with paper towels. Place it on a lightly oiled baking dish or sheet. Drizzle the remaining olive oil (about 1/2 tbsp) over the fish and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
    Tip: Patting the fish dry helps it bake nicely without steaming.
  4. Bake Cod. Once the sweet potatoes have been roasting for about 10 minutes, place the cod fillet in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
    Tip: Check the fish at 12 minutes to avoid overcooking.
  5. Steam Green Beans. While the cod bakes, rinse and trim the green beans. Bring a pot with about 1 inch of water to a boil and place a steamer basket over it. Add the green beans, cover, and steam for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
    Tip: Avoid overcooking to keep the beans bright green and crunchy.
  6. Finish and Plate. Remove the cod and sweet potatoes from the oven. Drizzle the cod with lemon juice for a fresh, tangy flavor. Serve the baked cod alongside the roasted sweet potatoes and steamed green beans.
    Tip: Serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Pro tips

  • Use a kitchen timer to keep track of cooking times for perfect results.
  • If you don’t have a steamer basket, you can steam green beans in a colander placed over boiling water.
