instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

    2

    Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Place them in a pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and boil for about 10 minutes until tender.

    3

    While the sweet potatoes are boiling, season the cod pieces with salt and black pepper on both sides.

    4

    In a spacious oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

    5

    Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.

    6

    Once the sweet potatoes are done, drain them and add to the skillet. Stir to combine and let them cook for another 2-3 minutes.

    7

    Make a space in the skillet, and place the cod pieces in the center. Squeeze juice from half a lemon over the fish.

    8

    Bake everything in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork.

    9

    Once out of the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional lemon slices. Serve hot and enjoy!
