PROVENCAL COD, POTATOES AND STRING BEANS

Steps:

• Put a rimmed baking sheet in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F. Combine the potatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence in a large bowl; season generously with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the beans, 1 tablespoon olive oil and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence; season generously with salt and pepper.
• Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven; add the potatoes in a single layer on one side of the pan and the beans on the other side. Roast until the potatoes are browned and the beans are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes, olives, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper in a small bowl; set aside. Season the cod all over with salt.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Separately stir the potatoes and beans with a spatula and push to the sides of the pan, leaving a space in the middle. Place the cod in the middle of the pan and top with half of the tomato mixture. Roast until the cod is opaque, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle the potatoes with parsley. Serve with the remaining tomato mixture.

GARLIC-CAPER STRING BEANS

Steps:

• Boil 1 pound mixed green and wax beans in salted water until crisp-tender, 6 minutes; drain. Chop 3 garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons capers and the zest of 1 lemon and mash together to make a coarse paste; saute in olive oil, 2 minutes. Add the juice of the lemon and bring to a boil. Add the beans and toss until glazed, 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

• Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the almonds, shake and swirl until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and salt it generously. Add the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and toss with the butter, zest, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl. Scatter the almonds over top and serve.
