Step-By-Step Instructions
Rinse off your vegetables and slice the tomatoes in half. Cut the stems off of the bottom of the asparagus. Place the tomatoes on the baking sheet face down. Next, add the asparagus and cod to the sheet pan.
Squeeze the lemon juice and sprinkle the lemon zest over the cod. The rosemary is optional, but if you’d like to add it, place it on the baking sheet before placing the cod into the oven.
Sprinkle some grated parmigiano reggiano cheese over the fish and vegetables. I bought a bag of pre-grated cheese to save on time, but you can also grate it yourself. I like to leave the lemons on the sheet because they tend to continue to drizzle a little lemon juice while cooking.
Bake the fish and vegetables for about 12-15 minutes or until the fish is flaky.
What To Serve With Cod and Vegetables
You can add a nice simple salad from Love and Lemons to the side of the seasoned cod, whip up a side of Jiffy cornbread, or add some broccoli salad to the table.
Optional Ingredients
- Fresh green beans, broccoli, or Brussels Sprouts instead of asparagus.
- Grated parmesan cheese.
- Cherry tomatoes.

Hi!
What’s the temp of your oven on this vid recipe?
Thank you!
Hi Gina,
The cod and veggies should be cooked at 400 degrees. Hope you love it!
This was so simple and quick. I did add sliced shallots which I liked. Definitely will make again.
That is great to hear! Great idea to add the shallots!
Should frozen filets be defrosted first as 12 – 15 minutes doesn’t sound long enough for frozen fish.
I would defrost them first, or add a little more cooking time.
