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.

Orange Sweet Potatoes:

4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt
1 orange, zested
1 orange, juiced
2 tablespoons butter

Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 10 to 12 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain. Add the zest, juice, butter and a dash of salt.

Beat with an electric mixer until the potatoes are light and fluffy.

Yield: 4 servings

Minted Sugar Snap Peas:

1 pound sugar snap peas
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
Salt and pepper

Place sugar snap peas in a steamer and steam until tender but still crisp, about 4 minutes. Toss with mint, season, and serve.

Yield: 4 servings

Easy and Delicious
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I dont know if Im just starting to like fish more or if the recipies just keep getting better, but this one is a winner. For... the ease of prep and great flavors without much fat this gets a high rating from me. I used Tilapia instead of Cod because we like it better, and had to bake the fish about twice as long as indicated to get it done, but otherwise it turned out fabulous. Thank you!Read more

This was a great recipe. I only made the fish part because I was looking for something to do with Alaskan cod. Taste great,... quick to make, and all the ingredients are common household spices.Read more
