Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C)
Prepare the Potatoes
- Toss the halved potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Spread them out on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Roast for 15 minutes.
Marinate the Cod
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel, then brush them generously with the marinade. Set aside to absorb the flavors while the potatoes are roasting.
Prepare the Asparagus

Toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Assemble the Baking Sheet
- After the potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, push them to one side of the baking sheet.
- Add the asparagus to the baking sheet in a single layer and place the cod fillets in the center.
- Optionally, add lemon slices on top of the cod for extra flavor and presentation.
Bake

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Serve

Plate the cod alongside the roasted asparagus and potatoes. Garnish with additional parsley or thyme, if desired, and serve with extra lemon wedges.
