Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

Old Bay Vegetable

2 large sweet potatoes
1 large onion
1 large bell pepper, preferably red
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning

Old Bay Fish

4 fish fillets (about 6 ounces each), such as tilapia, cod, or halibut
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 450°. Oil a baking sheet for the vegetables and a baking pan for the fish.

    Step 2

    Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them in half lengthwise and then crosswise into slices about 1/3 inch thick. Peel the onion and cut it in half and then into 1/2-inch slices. Stem and seed the pepper and cut it into 1 1/2-inch chunks. In a mixing bowl, toss the vegetables with the oil and the thyme and Old Bay Seasoning. Spread on the baking sheet. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and browned.

    Step 3

    While the vegetables roast, place the fish fillets in a single layer in the baking pan. Whisk the oil with the lemon juice, garlic, and Old Bay Seasoning and drizzle over the fish.

    Step 4

    When the vegetables have roasted for about 15 minutes, stir them with a spatula to prevent sticking. Put the pan of fish in the oven and bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
