One Pan Garlic Cod with Asparagus and Grape Tomatoes

Easy 30-Minute Weeknight Dinner for Busy Moms. One-Pan Cod Dinner for Busy Nights
Servings: 4 people
Course: Fish, Main Course
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 4 to 5 cod filets thawed
  • 1 pack asparagus woody ends trimmed (Aldi typically sells thinner asparagus which is great for us busy moms. It cooks FAST!)
  • 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes cleaned
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter sliced into pieces
  • For cod:
  • 2 garlic cloves minced (or 1 tsp jarred minced garlic)
  • Pinch red pepper flakes or 1 tsp chili crunch optional — leave out for kids
  • 1/2 tbsp butter garlic seasoning OR
  • 1 tsp garlic powder mixed with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper and 1/2 tsp oregano
  • For Asparagus:
  • ½ tsp kosher salt plus extra to taste
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Equipment

  • Cutting Board Oven Safe Pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F
  2. Prep the pan: Add 1 tbsp Olive oil, all minced garlic, grape tomatoes to pan and season (not too heavy handed. More of a medium drizzle). If you’re not scared of heat, also add red pepper flakes. Mix together.
  3. Add fish to pan: Place fish over and in between the tomatoes. Season both sides of the cod. I used Aldi’s butter garlic seasoning. If you don’t have, sprinkle garlic powder, salt, pepper and oregano.
  4. Place in oven and roast everything 10–12 minutes (depending on fish thickness).
  5. Prep the asparagus: Once the fish is in the oven, prep the asparagus. On a cutting board, place asparagus and trim about 1 inch of the ends.
  6. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Next: Slice 1 tbsp into 4 pieces.
  8. Once fish hits 10 minutes, add the asparagus to the pan. Top each fish with a piece of butter. Return pan to oven and continue cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes. (Because the asparagus is thin, be careful not to overcook).
  9. Finish & serve: Sprinkle parsley and spoon some of the created sauce over the fish (it's delish!). Plate with rice and enjoy!
