Prepare the ingredients
1 Prepare the ingredients

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the potatoes. Cut off and discard any stem ends from the green beans. Quarter and deseed the lemon. Peel 1 clove of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. Thinly slice the chives. In a bowl, combine the Cajun spice blend and sugar.

Roast the potatoes
2 Roast the potatoes

Transfer the diced potatoes to a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and half the weeknight hero spice blend. Add the whole thyme sprigs and toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 24 to 26 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven; carefully discard the thyme sprigs.

Roast the green beans & fish
3 Roast the green beans & fish

Meanwhile, place the green beans on a separate sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer on one side of the sheet pan. Pat the fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Transfer to the other side of the sheet pan, skin side down. Evenly top the fish with the Cajun-sugar mixture. Roast 12 to 15 minutes, or until the green beans are tender when pierced with a fork and the fish is browned and cooked through.* Remove from the oven. Evenly top the roasted green beans with the juice of 2 lemon wedges.

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for fish.
