Step 1
To install the grill grate, slide it into the front of the base so it hooks in, then press down on the back until it clicks into place and close the hood. Select GRILL, set temperature to MAX, and set time to 20 minutes. Press the dial to begin preheating (preheating will take approximately 10 minutes).

Step 2
While unit is preheating, prepare the cod by spreading 1 tablespoon of pesto on each fillet.

Step 3
When unit beeps to signify it has preheated, open hood and generously spray grill with nonstick cooking spray. Place the cod onto the grill grate and close the hood.

Step 4
While the cod is cooking, toss the green beans with oil and salt and pepper.

Step 5
When unit beeps and the display reads FLIP, do not flip the cod. Open and close the hood to continue cooking. When cooking is complete, remove cod from grill and let rest.

Step 6
While cod is resting, place green beans on grill grate. Set time to 10 minutes. Close hood and press the dial to begin cooking. Skip preheat by pressing the PREHEAT button.

Step 7
When cooking is complete, remove the green beans from the grill grate and serve with cod.
