Ingredients

• 4 cod fillets (6-ounce)
• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 pound carrot (peeled, chopped into 1-inch pieces)
• 1 pound parsnip (peeled, chopped into 1-inch pieces)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss 1 pound carrots and 1 pound parsnips with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread them in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
3. Roast the root vegetables for 15 minutes.
4. While vegetables roast, prepare the cod. Pat 4 cod fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
5. Brush the cod fillets with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, then generously press the herb mixture onto the top of each fillet.
6. After the root vegetables have roasted for 15 minutes, add the herb-crusted cod fillets to the other side of the baking sheet.
7. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender.
8. Serve the rosemary-thyme crusted cod immediately with the roasted root vegetables.

Notes

Ensure the cod fillets are of similar thickness for even cooking. For extra zest, a squeeze of lemon juice over the fish and vegetables at serving is delicious.
