Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 3 chopped carrots, 2 chopped parsnips, and 12 halved baby potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, mix 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs with 2 tsp lemon zest, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper in a bowl.
  3. Step 3: Pat dry 4 cod fillets and drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Press the breadcrumb mixture evenly onto the top of each fillet.
  4. Step 4: After vegetables have roasted 20 minutes, push them to the side of the baking sheet and place the cod fillets crust-side up. Roast everything together for an additional 12-15 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
  5. Step 5: Serve the cod topped with roasted root vegetables, garnished with extra fresh dill if desired.
