5Lemon Herb Baked Cod with Roasted Asparagus
A quick and healthy meal that brings bright flavors to your table with minimal effort.
How to make it
- 1
Get your oven nice and hot to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- 2
Wash the asparagus well and snap off the tough woody ends. Toss them on the baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and some freshly ground pepper.
- 3
Gently pat your cod fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps them get a lovely golden crust. Place them on the same baking sheet next to the asparagus.
- 4
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the cod. Sprinkle generously with fresh dill, the zest from half the lemon, and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
- 5
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender crisp. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything before serving.
