Crispy Baked Cod with Roasted Potatoes and Steamed Broccoli
Tips for Experienced Cooks
Explore using fresh breadcrumbs from artisan or sourdough bread for a richer flavor and a more interesting texture contrast. Consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or thyme to the breadcrumb mixture for an aromatic lift. Experiment with different types of potatoes for the wedges, like sweet potatoes or heirloom varieties, to add color and diversify flavors. For an extra touch of elegance, lightly blanch the broccoli before steaming and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of chili flakes for a bit of heat.
