Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Place 12 oz trimmed broccolini on a baking sheet. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Roast for 15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, pat dry 4 cod fillets and season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place fillets in a baking dish and drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over them.
  3. Step 3: Bake cod in the oven alongside broccolini for 12-15 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: While the fish bakes, combine 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp drained capers, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a small bowl.
  5. Step 5: Remove cod and broccolini from oven. Spoon lemon-caper sauce over cod fillets and garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with the roasted broccolini.
