- 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- 2In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, juice from half a lemon, salt, and pepper.
- 3Place 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.
- 4Arrange 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.
- 5Bake 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.
- 6Serve immediately, squeezing extra lemon juice over the top if desired.
