Step by step

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Line a baking tray with baking parchment.

2. 2

   Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the new potatoes and cook for 12– 15 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, chopped parsley, salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Arrange the cod fillets on the prepared tray. Spoon the lemon herb butter over each fillet.

5. 5

   Bake for 12– 15 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

6. 6

   While the fish bakes, steam or boil the green beans for 4– 5 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and toss with a drizzle of olive oil.

7. 7

   Serve the cod alongside the new potatoes and green beans, spooning any pan juices over the fish.
