to taste Salt
to taste Pepper

For the Roasted Potatoes

1 pound Baby Potatoes Tender and flavorful; substitute with Yukon gold or red potatoes if needed.
2 tablespoons Olive Oil Helps achieve crispy edges while providing heart-healthy fats.

For the Garlic Butter Sauce

4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Creates a rich and luscious sauce; olive oil can be a lighter alternative.

Cooking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine halved baby potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spread the coated baby potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes.
Melt unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, add minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant.
Pat the cod fillets dry, season with salt and pepper, and sear in a hot skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side.
Return the garlic butter sauce to the skillet, drizzle over the cod, and allow to infuse for about 1 minute.
Serve each cod fillet with a portion of crispy roasted potatoes, additional garlic butter, and garnish with parsley.
