Sheet Pan Dinner: Roasted Lemon Cod and Broccoli

Course Dinner Entree
Cuisine American

Ingredients
  

  • Cod I usually use frozen and thaw it out
  • Salt
  • 2 Lemons
  • 1.5 cups Lemon Juice
  • Broccoli cut into pieces or buy it already cut up
  • Olive oil cooking spray or Olive Oil
  • Mediterranean Seasoning If you can't get that, use some oregano, garlic, rosemary, fennel seeds, and thyme
  • Brown Rice make in your instant pot or buy frozen or instant

Instructions
 

  • Thaw your cod pieces - I usually have one piece each for my kids and two pieces for my husband. The pieces look small, but cod is very dense. If you have time, follow the directions for thawing on your cod's package. Otherwise place the frozen fish in a ziploc and let it sit under cold running water.
  • Preheat your oven to 395
  • Prep a sheet pan, I usually put tinfoil and put parchment on top
  • Spray sheet pan with oil spray or drizzle with olive oil
  • Place thawed cod on the sheet pan
  • Add some kosher salt
  • Add some pepper
  • Squeeze one lemon over your cod or add another cup of lemon and pour over it (if you are short on lemons but have lemon juice, add 1/2 more cup of lemon juice
  • Add some spices - I like Mediterranean Seasoning - if you can't get that, use some oregano, garlic, rosemary, fennel seeds, and thyme.
  • Cut up the other lemon and place the slices on your cod.
  • Wash and cut up your broccoli (or buy it already cut up)
  • Spray broccoli with olive oil spray or olive oil
  • Add 1/2 cup of lemon juice over the broccoli, more if you like it really lemony
  • Can sprinkle more mediterranean seasoning and kosher salt over broccoli
  • Place cod and broccoli into oven.
  • Bake at 395 degrees Farenheight for 7-8 minutes - flip over. Spray broccoli with more oil spray or drizzle with more olive oil and and cook for 9-11 minutes more.
  • Serve with brown rice (optional)
