    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

4 (6-ounces) pieces skinless Pacific cod or hake fillet (1 inch thick)
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus additional for drizzling
1 bunch scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 pound zucchini (about 2 medium), cut into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons
1 (9-ounces) package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 head romaine, thinly sliced crosswise
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup mint leaves, coarsely chopped

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle.

    Step 2

    Put fish in a 4-sided sheet pan, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and season with a slightly rounded 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper (total). Roast until just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.

    Step 3

    While fish cooks, heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then cook scallions, zucchini, artichokes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, stirring occasionally, 4 minutes.

    Step 4

    Stir in peas, romaine, and water and cook, covered, until zucchini is tender, about 3 minutes more. Stir in mint. Serve fish over vegetables and drizzle with oil.
