step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare & roast the vegetables

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Quarter the radishes lengthwise. Large dice the sweet potatoes. Transfer the quartered radishes, diced sweet potatoes, and broccoli florets to a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the spice blend; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 26 to 28 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

2 Coat the fish

Meanwhile, lightly coat a separate sheet pan with oil. In a bowl, combine the pesto and mayonnaise. Place half the pesto mayo in a separate bowl; set aside for serving. Pat the fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the seasoned fish on the oiled sheet pan, skin side down. Evenly top with the remaining pesto mayo and breadcrumbs (pressing gently to adhere). Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.

3 Roast the fish

Roast the coated fish 12 to 15 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are lightly browned and the fish is cooked through.* Remove from the oven.

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

4 Finish & serve your dish

Meanwhile, halve the lemon crosswise; remove the seeds. To the bowl of reserved pesto mayo, add the juice of 1 lemon half; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Evenly top the roasted vegetables with the juice of the remaining lemon half. Serve the roasted fish with the finished vegetables and pesto sauce. Enjoy!
