Ingredients

  • 4 ounces fresh cod filet
  • 1/2 bunch fresh asparagus (8 ounces)
  • 1 bunch scallions (green onions), cleaned and trimmed
  • Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 lemon
  • Pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Dill (preferably fresh)
  • Cooking oil spray

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray baking dish with cooking oil spray. Place scallions on bottom of baking dish (making a bed for the cod). Season cod with 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 lemon juiced, 1/8 teaspoon coarse black pepper, and a sprig of dill. Tent cod baking dish with a piece of foil. Set aside while preparing asparagus.

Place asparagus in another baking dish or baking pan and spray lightly with cooking oil spray. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon parmesan, 1/4 lemon juiced, and 1/8 teaspoon coarse black pepper. Place both dishes in preheated oven and bake for 7 minutes.

In the meantime, slice the other half of the lemon and caramelize the slices in a pan.

Remove asparagus from oven; keep warm. Remove tent from cod. Bake cod for another 3 minutes. Place cod on a dinner plate. Top with a fresh dill sprig and a caramelized lemon wheel. Place asparagus next to cod on plate. Sprinkle with remainder of parmesan.
