Steps:
- For the topping: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Toss the cashews and coconut with the oil, curry powder and salt in the baking pan. Bake, stirring once or twice, until the coconut is golden brown, about 5 minutes (be careful, it can burn quickly towards the end). Stir in the lime zest and cool completely. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cilantro.
- For the fish: Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Drizzle the parchment with olive oil and place the fish on top. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper, turning the fillets to coat them with the oil. Sprinkle the top of the fish with the coriander and curry powder, then roast until the cod is just cooked through and flakes apart easily, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Serve the fish with the cashew coconut topping and lime wedges on the side.
ROASTED LIMA BEANS
Steps:
- Place the beans and water in a large saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the beans are just soft, about 1 hour. Remove from the heat. Drain the beans and cool under running water. Drain thoroughly and spread on paper towels to dry.
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F. Toss beans with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt, lime juice and cayenne. Spread beans out on a baking sheet and place in oven. Roast until beans begin to brown slightly. Serve warm or room temperature.
CHILI-ROASTED COD
Steps:
- 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.
- 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.
- Place sugar snap peas in a steamer and steam until tender but still crisp, about 4 minutes. Toss with mint, season, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, sturdy cod fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and opaque, with no signs of browning or bruising.
- Season the cod fillets generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Roast the cod fillets in a hot oven. This will help to create a crispy outer crust and a tender, flaky interior.
- Serve the cod fillets immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are hot and crispy.
- Garnish the cod fillets with fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Roasted cod with lima beans is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cod is roasted until it is flaky and tender, and the lima beans are creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
