Ingredients

• 4 fillets White fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 whole Large russet potatoes
• 4 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Low-fat milk (2% recommended)
• 0.25 cups Blue cheese crumbles
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 4 wedges Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and dry the potatoes, then prick each potato a few times with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack or a baking tray and bake for 40-50 minutes until tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes bake, prepare the fish. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Place the fish fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Set aside to bake later with the potatoes.

Step 5

In the last 15 minutes of potato baking time, place the tray of fish in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

While the fish cooks, steam the broccoli florets. Bring a pot of water to a boil, place a steamer basket over the pot, and steam the broccoli for 5-7 minutes until tender yet vibrant green. Set aside.

Step 7

To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.

Step 8

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the blue cheese crumbles, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

To assemble, split open the baked potatoes and fluff the flesh with a fork. Arrange each baked potato on a plate alongside a portion of steamed broccoli and a fish fillet. Drizzle all three components with the cheese sauce.

Step 11

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, if desired, for an extra touch of brightness.
