Cooking Notes

To streamline: Don't cut the scallions in half, and put them in the oven the same time as the fish. You'll be treated to crispy ends and tender stems. I had fresh salmon, and used it. I omitted the fish sauce and soy, and added capers to the yogurt sauce. The result was reminiscent of a lox plate. It was fantastic and easy-peasy.
Claire
Excellent. I offered roasted sweet potatoes with the dish. It was a feast.
JO
For a super easy weeknight, just skip the yogurt dressing prep and buy prepared tzatziki sauce.
Jessica
Hi Linda, I used foil and did just fine. I tossed the scallions in olive oil before seasoning, and used a small amount of oil with the fish as well. Parchment would also likely work. Enjoy your fish!
Linda
What do you do to keep fish and scallions from sticking to pan? Cooking spray? Butter? Parchment paper? Or don't worry about it?
Emily
The perfect easy weeknight meal! I used toasted sesame oil for the cod and scallions which gave it great flavor. I served with boiled fingerling potatoes and sliced cucumber. Next time I think I’d quick pickle the cucumbers with some rice wine vinegar and add the scallions to the pan at the same time with the fish.
Sally
Delicious but do not need yoghurt sauce. Just do fish method. Lotsa scallionns

Roasted with the scallion ribbons and herbed sweet tomatoes, and it came out so juicy and tender. The juices from the tomatoes and fish made a delicious “broth” to serve each in a bowl. Sprinkled the yogurt-dressed fish with panko, more scallions and smoked sea salt. 11/10 will make this again. Kids devoured it, and cod was an economical choice for our household!

I did the streamlined version in the notes, with a little more olive oil and the scallions were still crispy and gave the fish great flavor. Served with rice and Vino Verde al fresco on a summer night. Got rave reviews from all.
Mardi
Lovely recipe. I added ginger “ribbons” to the scallions and mixed them with garlic oil, habanero oil and sesame oil. The ginger really added a nice kick.

Another great recipe from Melissa Clark. Will use the Yogurt Sauce throughout the week.
Sally
Just make fish as instructed. No need for sauce. Lotsa scallions!!!
Hetty
This was an excellent and easy dish. Personally, I thought it would have been just fine without the yogurt sauce. But it did provide a fresh note. Served with some brown rice and bok choi.

When life gives you lemon, lemon, difficult lemon
The scallions add a sweetness that balances out the tang of the yogurt. This dish was balanced and delicious as is.
Bethany
Fish was too salty. Next time, we won't salt the cod since the soy sauce will take care of that.
Kelly
I didn't have fish sauce but we didn't miss it at all! And using skyr instead of Greek yogurt was really delicious. We're looking for ways to use the sauce on something else because it's just SO good! Served with baked potatoes and roasted zucchini. Super easy weeknight meal!
Friendly Jen
Keeper! Made recipe as directed. Easy, great flavors. Served with roasted cauliflower and toasted pita bread. Leftover yogurt sauce for crudite tomorrow night. :-)

Made this for dinner and generally good. Next timeI’d marinate cod for a little bit in the soy/fish sauce/(plus the added sesame oil I used) mixture since my fish was thick and could’ve used more flavor. Yogurt sauce was delish with fish and crispy-ish scallions added a lot to the dish.

I combined two NYT recipes here, baking the cod on a thick bed of Swiss chard leaves (oiled) and the ribbon scallions. My wife LOOOVED the sauce, as it's hard to find good tzatziki - so that recipe is now a separate keeper. I served it with baked garden acorn squash slices, the chard stems, and garden potatoes, which all baked together on a separate sheet for a half hour. Deelish, going into the rotation.

Not great Cucumber was sour
Susan
I used a nice chunky piece of Icelandic cod. This was fast and easy. Good balance of flavors with the umami emphasis in the fish (fish sauce and tamari) and the yogurt garlic dill sauce. A very easy one for the weeknight rotation.
Keta
Overall, we liked it and would make it again. Disagree with folks who say you can skip the Yogurt sauce, we felt that was what elevated the dish. Definitely will add double the amount of whole scallions to cook with the fish next time for sure. And I will season the fish a bit more and perhaps put the panko crumbs on while fish cooks versus after.
RB
I wasn't particularly impressed with the part done on the sheet-pan but the cucumber sauce is fantastic
mrerosie
I agree with some other notes about not needing to cut the scallions and put them in at the same time as the fish. Maybe toss them in halfway through cooking the fish.Tastes a-okay without the fish sauce.I served mine over a bed of crispy day-old sushi rice.Would also be super yummy with roasted cauliflower or rainbow carrots :)

Made this as written except I used low sodium soy sauce and omitted the fish sauce to spare my blood pressure from the sodium blast. Used some nice, fleshy “cod loin” from Wegmans. I added fingerling potatoes to the sheet pan (well in advance) then sliced cherry tomatoes a few minutes before the fish. The result was a complete and satisfying meal! The yogurt sauce was the most work and the least satisfying component. I’ll probably skip that next time.
Mary Buford Hitz
Exceptionally good recipe. I used all chopped scallions because I forgot to read closely. Added baby cauliflower that roasted with the cod. Very tasty results!
LBT
This was a big hit here! I added some cherry tomatoes to the sheet pan bc I needed to use them up - so probably more liquid in the pan than intended but it didn’t detract. I wasn’t sure about the yogurt on the fish but it was delicious! Will definitely make again.

I also matched roasted yams with this dish-- gave it color and was delicious. I didn't have fish sauce, so omitted it. I used haddock because that was what was on sale and available. Delicious and easy.
