Ingredients

250g (9 oz) cod fillet
200g (2 cups) green beans, trimmed
100g (1 small) potato, in 2cm / 3/4in pieces
8g (1.5 tsp) butter
8ml (2 tsp) olive oil
15ml (1 tbsp) lemon juice
6g (2 cloves) garlic, sliced
1/2 tsp fine salt, black pepper, parsley, lemon slices

Method

Heat the oven to 220C / 425F. Boil the potato pieces 8 min until a knife goes in with slight resistance, then drain and dry them in the hot pan for 30 seconds.
Crush each potato piece flat with the back of a spoon. Every crushed edge is a surface that crisps.
Toss the potatoes with the oil on a baking sheet and roast 10 min on their own.
Pat the cod completely dry and salt it 5 min before it goes in. Cod holds a lot of water and wet cod steams into mush.
Push the potatoes to one side, add the green beans and garlic, and lay the cod in the middle with the butter and lemon slices on top.
Roast 10-12 min. The fillet is done when it flakes with gentle pressure and reads 63C / 145F - cod goes from perfect to cotton wool in about two minutes.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the beans and fish straight out of the oven and finish with parsley.

Tip: salt the cod five minutes ahead and pat it dry again before it goes in. It is the only thing standing between you and watery fish.
