Ingredients
    Cod
  • 6 oz cod fillets (2)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
    • Vegetables
  • 12 oz baby potatoes (halved or quartered if large)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 8 oz asparagus (woody ends trimmed)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C)

  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Prepare the Asparagus

    Toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

  5. 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.
  6. 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.

  7. Serve

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