We all have the dish that tastes out of this world but may not look so hot. As a food blogger, I am acutely aware of the importance of a good looking dish - hence the popularity of the hashtag "foodporn" and food-centric sites like Pinterest. This dish comes in at about a 8 out of 10 on the messy looking scale, once you get beyond the lack of aesthetic appeal you will find that this recipe will be on your regular dinner rotation. One pan meals are wildly popular right now and with good reason. Everything in one dish, into to the oven and dinner is done. Ok, you probably want to add a lettuce or fruit salad to meet our dietary guidelines but this meal covers a few bases. Better yet, you can assemble this on a Sunday, cover and put in the fridge and it is ready to go into the oven when you get home from work on Monday. Any white fish will work here, you will want to make sure the filet is not more than 1" thick or you will have to increase the baking time and risk over cooking the green beans. Since this recipe doesn't use the entire can of artichoke hearts, I have included a bonus no cook sauce recipe for you to use on pasta or over cooked veggies.
