One Pan Lemon Garlic Baked Cod w/ Potatoes & Asparagus

Ingredients

• 2 medium Potatoes (peeled and diced into ½‑inch cubes)
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (divided for vegetables and fish)
• 1 teaspoon Salt (to taste)
• ½ teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder))
• 1 whole Lemon (zested and juiced; extra slices for garnish)
• 1 bunch Asparagus (trimmed and cut into 2‑inch pieces)
• 2 pieces Wild‑Caught Cod Fillets (about 6 oz each, skinless)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

   Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the ingredients.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 400°F

2. Season Potatoes

   In a mixing bowl toss the diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, half the minced garlic, lemon zest, and a squeeze of lemon juice until evenly coated.

   Time: PT5M

3. Start Roasting Potatoes

   Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and place in the oven for 15 minutes.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: 400°F

4. Prepare Asparagus

   While the potatoes roast, trim the woody ends off the asparagus and cut into 2‑inch pieces. Toss in the same bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, remaining salt and pepper, the rest of the minced garlic, lemon zest, and a drizzle of lemon juice.

   Time: PT5M

5. Add Asparagus to Sheet

   Remove the baking sheet, give the potatoes a quick stir, then add the seasoned asparagus, mixing everything together and creating a space in the center for the cod.

   Time: PT3M

6. Season Cod

   Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle each fillet with a little olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, the remaining garlic, lemon zest, and a light squeeze of lemon juice. Place the fillets skin‑side down (if skin is present) in the cleared space on the sheet and top each with a lemon slice.

   Time: PT5M

7. Finish Baking

   Return the sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 12‑15 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork and the potatoes are golden‑brown and tender.

   Time: PT13M

   Temperature: 400°F

8. Rest and Serve

   Remove the pan from the oven, let the dish rest for 2 minutes, then serve hot straight from the sheet.
