Broiled Scrod, Roasted New Potatoes and Buttered Peas

Ingredients

• 900 g new potatoes (Also known as baby potatoes)
• 3 tbsp olive oil (Extra virgin recommended)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp dried rosemary (Crushed)
• 0.5 tsp dried thyme
• 0.5 tsp paprika (For color)
• 0.25 tsp kosher salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper (Freshly ground)
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (Finely chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. 2

   Prepare the potatoes

   • Wash the new potatoes thoroughly under running water.
   • Pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel – this is key for crispy skin.
   • Cut any larger potatoes in half or quarters to ensure they are all roughly 1-inch in size for even cooking.
3. 3

   Season the potatoes

   • Place the dried potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
   • Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
   • Sprinkle over the garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, dried thyme, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper.
   • Toss again until every potato is well-seasoned.

Ingredients

• 16 oz frozen sweet peas (Do not thaw before cooking)
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 small shallot (Finely minced)
• 2 tbsp water
• 0.5 tsp salt (Or to taste)
• 0.25 tsp black pepper (Freshly ground)

Instructions

1. 1

   Melt the butter in a medium saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Add the finely minced shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent, being careful not to let it brown.

2. 2

   Add the frozen peas directly to the pan (no need to thaw). Pour in the water, then sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well to combine and coat the peas evenly.

3. 3

   Increase the heat to medium-high to bring the liquid to a gentle simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The peas are done when they are bright green, tender, and heated through.

4. 4

   Remove the pan from the heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
