Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 4 (6oz each) cod fillets, fresh or thawed; 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided; 1 large lemon, half thinly sliced, half juiced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped; 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped; 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, divided; 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, divided; 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional); 1 pound fresh asparagus, tough ends trimmed

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Toss the trimmed asparagus on one side of the prepared baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
3
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried dill, dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, and the remaining black pepper.
4
Place the cod fillets on the other side of the baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd.
5
Pour the lemon-herb mixture evenly over each cod fillet. Top each fillet with a few thin slices of lemon.
6
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp. Cooking time may vary based on fish thickness.
7
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

💡 Notes

Ensure cod is fully thawed and patted dry for best results. Adjust baking time for thicker or thinner fillets. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
