Ingredients

  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved

  • 12 ounces precut broccoli florets

  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided

  • 1 pound skin-on black cod (see Tip)

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and patted dry

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried

  • 3 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.

  2. Toss potatoes and broccoli with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Cook, stirring once, until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, pat cod dry and cut into 4 portions. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add capers and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the capers to a paper towel, leaving the oil in the pan. Place the cod skin-side down in the pan. Cook, undisturbed, for 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes more.

  4. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, lemon juice, mustard and garlic in a small bowl.

  5. Toss the potatoes and broccoli with thyme. Serve the vegetables and cod drizzled with the lemon vinaigrette and garnished with the capers and Parmesan.
