Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, juice from half a lemon, salt, and pepper.
3
Place asparagus and cherry tomatoes on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with half of the lemon-herb olive oil mixture and toss gently to coat.
4
Arrange the cod fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining lemon-herb olive oil mixture evenly over the fish. Place lemon wedges around the fish and vegetables.
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 may vary depending on the thickness of the fish.
6
Serve immediately, squeezing extra lemon juice over the top if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen cod fillets?

Yes, you can use frozen cod. Make sure to thaw them completely and pat them very dry before seasoning and baking to prevent a watery dish.

What other herbs can I use?

Thyme, oregano, or chives would also work wonderfully in this recipe. Feel free to experiment with your favorite fresh herbs.

How do I know when the fish is cooked?

Cod is cooked when it becomes opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
