I love me a sheet pan dinner, and this one has to be a favorite! When I learned that you can roast gnocchi in the oven instead of boiling it, it was LIFECHANGING. The dumplings take on a lovely chewy texture, and they caramelize around the edges for the most delicious bite! Adding fish fillets in the center of the pan makes Meatless Mondays a breeze!
Sheet Pan Roasted Fish & Gnocchi
For the gnocchi:
1 lb. store-bought gnocchi
1 cup grape tomatoes
1/2 medium zucchini, chopped
1 tsp lemon zest
2 cubes frozen basil
1 clove garlic, minced
pinch red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp dried oregano
kosher salt, to taste
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
For the fish:
2 fillets striped bass, or white fish fillets of your choice
2 cubes frozen basil
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp lemon zest
2 tsp lemon juice
salt and pepper, to taste
Method:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
On a sheet pan, combine the gnocchi, tomatoes, zucchini, basil, garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano, slat, olive oil and balsamic, stir to combine. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven, stir, and move the gnocchi around the perimeter of the pan to make room for the fish. Place the fish fillets in the center. In a small bowl, mix the basil and olive oil, brush over the fish. Add the lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
