Roasted Cod and Scallions With Spiced Potatoes

This incredibly easy recipe cooks up in a snap!  Don't feel like you need to splurge on baby red potatoes (those things are so darn expensive!).  Just sift through the bulk reds to find some potatoes on the smaller side, and cut them a little thinner.

I only managed to use one bunch of scallions (green onions), not two.  But I guess it depends on the size of the bunch.  

And don't worry about the chili powder.  It provides a nice flavor without being too spicy.

Roasted Cod and Scallions With Spiced Potatoes

Ingredients

• 1 pound small red potatoes (about 12), sliced 1/4 inch thick
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• kosher salt and black pepper
• 4 6-ounce pieces skinless cod, halibut, or striped bass fillet
• 2 bunches scallions, trimmed
• 1 lemon

Directions

1. Heat oven to 425° F. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the oil, the chili powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
2. Roast, tossing once, until golden brown and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, place the fish and scallions on a second rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of oil and season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
4. Using a vegetable peeler, peel strips of zest from the lemon. Thinly slice them and sprinkle on the fish; reserve the lemon.
5. After the potatoes have cooked for 10 minutes, place the fish in the oven and roast until it is opaque throughout and the scallions are tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
6. Cut the reserved lemon in half and squeeze over the fish. Serve the fish and scallions with the potatoes.
