Ingredients

  • fresh cod fillets
  • young carrots slim, so they cook evenly
  • Parsley root optional
  • cherry tomatoes on the stem, if possible
  • fresh parsley
  • olive oil
  • kosher salt and cracked pepper
  • Old Bay
  • lemon wedges

Instructions

  • This is a meal that can easily be prepared for 1 person and scaled for more. I don't give measurements because everyone's appetite is different. A general guide would be 6-8 oz cod, 1 bunch tomatoes and 4-5 carrots per person. The seasoning is very simple, so feel free to dress it up with other flavors to make it your own!
  • Preheat oven to 400 and get out two baking sheets
  • Young carrots & parsley root don't need peeled, scrub them with a vegetable brush and trim the tops (you can completely remove the tops, but I love the way it looks when there's still some green attached)
  • Arrange carrots and parsley root on lined baking sheet, drizzle with a little olive oil & sprinkle with kosher salt and cracked pepper
  • Place vegetables in preheated oven and roast 20 minutes, checking halfway through and shaking pan to turn them
  • While vegetables roast, place fish and cherry tomatoes on 2nd sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with kosher salt, cracked pepper, Old Bay and a sprinkling of fresh, chopped parsley
  • When carrots are done place on stove top and cover to keep warm, preheat broiler, place fish and tomatoes 5-6" from heat and broil for about 5 minutes
  • Fish is done when it flakes easily. depending on the thickness you may need to broil a little longer. If you're nervous about whether or not it's done, use a digital thermometer- it should be taken out at 125 degrees f
  • Place fish, carrots and tomatoes on a plate and serve with lemon wedges
