Let’s cook

  1. Heat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss green beans with olive oil and half the pepper on one side of a rimmed sheet pan. Roast for 5 minutes.
  2. Mix breadcrumbs, parmesan, melted butter and remaining pepper. Pat fish dry and place on the other side of the pan. Press the crumbs onto the fish.
  3. Bake for 10–15 minutes more, until the fish reaches 145°F (63°C) in its thickest part and flakes easily. Thin fillets may finish sooner; remove them while beans finish if needed.
  4. Divide fish and green beans among plates. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
