Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper.
Place the asparagus on one side of the sheet pan. Toss with the olive oil and half the salt and pepper. Spread them into a single layer.

Place the cod fillets on the other side of the sheet pan. Spoon the herb butter mixture over the fish. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. For fillets thicker than 1 inch, bake for 3 to 5 minutes more. Done when opaque and flakes easily at the thickest part, 145°F.
Plate the fish and asparagus. Spoon any juices from the pan over the top and serve with the lemon wedges to squeeze over.
