Cook flaky cod fillets and tender asparagus on one sheet pan for a fast, flavorful, and simple weeknight dinner with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (5 ounce) cod fillets, about 1 inch thick
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, tough ends trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large lemon, half sliced thinly, half juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. This is your herb dressing.
  3. Place the trimmed asparagus on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle half of the herb dressing over the asparagus and toss gently to coat. Spread the asparagus into a single layer.
  4. Place the cod fillets on the other side of the baking sheet, leaving space between the fish and the vegetables. Pour the remaining herb dressing evenly over the cod fillets.
  5. Arrange the thin lemon slices on top of each cod fillet.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cod is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender-crisp. Cooking time depends on the thickness of your fish.
  7. Remove from the oven. Garnish the fish and vegetables with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • If your asparagus spears are very thin, add them to the pan 5 minutes before adding the cod so they finish cooking at the same time.
  • You can substitute dried rosemary for thyme if you prefer a stronger flavor.
  • Use parchment paper or foil on the sheet pan to prevent the fish from sticking.
