Cod and Asparagus Bake
By: Thomas Faglon, Somerset, New Jersey Found on: tasteofhome.com
The lemon pulls this flavorful and healthy dish together. You can use grated Parmesan cheese instead of Romano if you'd like.
Preheat oven to 375°. Place cod and asparagus in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan brushed with oil. Add tomatoes, cut sides down. Brush fish with lemon juice; sprinkle with lemon zest. Sprinkle fish and vegetables with Romano cheese. Bake until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, about 12 minutes.
Remove pan from oven; preheat broiler. Broil cod mixture 3-4 in. from heat until vegetables are lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.
If asparagus isn't in season, fresh green beans make a fine substitute and will cook in about the same amount of time.
We tested cod fillets that were about 3/4 in. thick. You'll need to adjust the bake time up or down if your fillets are thicker or thinner.
