Description
Prepare a simple, healthy dinner using this sheet pan recipe featuring cod fillets and fresh asparagus seasoned with lemon and herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6 ounce) cod fillets
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 thin lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, thyme, dill, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
- Place the trimmed asparagus on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle half of the marinade over the asparagus and toss to coat evenly. Spread the asparagus into a single layer.
- Place the cod fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Pour the remaining marinade evenly over the cod fillets. Place one thin lemon slice on top of each fillet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
- Serve immediately directly from the pan.
Notes
- If your asparagus spears are very thick, you may need to add them to the pan 3 to 5 minutes before adding the cod to ensure even cooking.
- You can substitute fresh herbs like parsley or rosemary for the dried herbs if you prefer a stronger flavor.
