Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 4 cod filets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1 tbsp lemon zest, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp paprika. Bake for 12-15 minutes until fish is opaque and flakes easily.
  2. Step 2: Toss 1 bunch trimmed asparagus with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread on a separate baking sheet and roast in the oven alongside the cod for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 minced garlic clove, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Stir until smooth and refrigerate.
  4. Step 4: Plate the baked cod filets with roasted asparagus on the side, and spoon the lemon-dill yogurt sauce over the fish or serve on the side for dipping.
