Tender Lemon-Herb Baked Cod with Roasted Asparagus
Flaky cod fillets baked with a bright lemon-herb marinade alongside tender roasted asparagus for a light yet satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz cod fillets
1.5 cups asparagus spears
1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 whole lemon
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and spread them out on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
Pat the cod fillets completely dry with a paper towel and place them on the other half of the baking sheet.
In a small glass bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the herb oil mixture over both the cod and the asparagus, using your hands or a brush to ensure the asparagus is evenly coated.
Slice the lemon half into thin rounds and arrange them directly on top of the cod fillets to infuse them with citrus flavor.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender and slightly charred.
Remove from the oven and garnish everything with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley before serving hot.
