When Matt isn't home for dinner, I usually cook foods that I like, but are not filling enough for Matt. The last time he was gone, this is what I made.
The potatoes were thrown in the oven first at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. I drizzled olive oil over them and added chives, oregano, and lemon thyme from my herb garden. A sprinkle of sea salt and pepper and then popped it in the oven.
The green beans were just thrown in a nonstick small skillet with some grapeseed oil, salt, and pepper until they were tender but not squishy. I plated it and finished with drizzle of good quality balsamic vinegar and toasted almonds (I keep a jar pre-toasted in the pantry).
For the cod, I just threw it in the same skillet with the grapeseed oil, added a tiny squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and some sea salt. With cod it seems to work best to cook it on a higher heat for a very short amount of time to avoid it getting dried out. For fish I find that sometimes keeping it really simple with the seasoning is best since it has such a good natural flavor.
