Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3
Place the trimmed asparagus and cherry tomatoes on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle about half of the lemon-dill mixture over them and toss gently to coat.
4
Place the cod fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining lemon-dill mixture evenly over the cod fillets.
5
Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender-crisp. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the cod.
6
Carefully remove from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with extra fresh dill if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of white fish?

Yes, Haddock, Tilapia, or Halibut are excellent substitutes for cod in this recipe. Adjust cooking time slightly based on thickness.

How can I tell if the cod is cooked through?

The cod is done when it turns opaque throughout and flakes easily when gently pressed with a fork. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become dry.

Can I prepare the vegetables ahead of time?

Yes, you can trim the asparagus and wash the cherry tomatoes a day in advance. Store them separately in the refrigerator. The lemon-dill sauce can also be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
