Ingredients

Serves 4 

  • 4 russet potatoes, scrubbed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt, divided
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces. each)
Directions
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Cut each potato into 6 wedges. Combine the potatoes, oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon thyme and the pepper in a large bowl. Toss to coat. Place the seasoned potatoes on a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, combine the milk and remaining salt in a small bowl. Combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan and remaining thyme in a shallow dish. Dip the cod fillets in the milk, then press into the crumb mixture to coat.

  3. 3

    Remove the baking pan from the oven. Add the fillets to the potatoes in the baking pan. Turn the potatoes. Bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the potatoes are tender, 13–18 minutes longer.

Grandma's Secret Tip

Grandma liked to add a fresh flavor to purchased tartar sauce with chopped fresh dill.

Serving Suggestion

Serving Suggestion

Serve with tartar sauce. Vanilla frozen yogurt topped with fresh raspberries makes a nice light dessert.
