Chili-Roasted Cod

Ingredients

• 3 pounds fresh cod fillets (about 3/4-inch thick), skin on
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 lime, juiced
• Orange Sweet Potatoes, recipe follows
• Minted Sugar Snap Peas, recipe follows

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a roasting pan with vegetable cooking spray.

Arrange the cod fillets skin-side down. Sprinkle with the chili powder, oregano, and salt. Roast 5 to 7 minutes or until the cod is just opaque and flakes when tested with a fork.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, swirling constantly, just until the butter begins to brown. Add the cumin and lime juice and continue to cook, swirling 1 minute longer.

Remove the cod from the oven. Set aside half the cod for Day 3. Drizzle the cumin-lime butter over the remaining cod and serve with the potatoes and peas.
