Pat the cod fillets completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and mince the garlic and fresh dill.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with half of the avocado oil; add the asparagus and cherry tomatoes, sautéing for 5 minutes until tender-crisp, then remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining avocado oil and place the cod fillets in the pan, searing for 3 to 4 minutes without moving them until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the fish and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Reduce the heat to low, add the grass-fed butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh dill to the pan.
Tilt the pan slightly to spoon the melting herb butter over the cod fillets for 1 minute to infuse the flavors.
Plate the cod over the sautéed asparagus and tomatoes, drizzling any remaining lemon-dill sauce from the pan over the top.
