PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and place them on the baking sheet.

• 3

  Toss the asparagus with 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

• 4

  Roast the asparagus in the oven for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the tips.

• 5

  While the asparagus roasts, pat the cod fillets completely dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.

  Season both sides of the cod fillets evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

• 7

  Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.

  Remove from heat and squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the fish and roasted asparagus before serving immediately.
