Cod & Asparagus Bake-paired recipe
Pairs with COD FISH TACOS
Lemon, butter, panko, onions and tomatoes add great flavor to these fillets. In all honesty, the fish tacos I made with leftovers were a hit, so I couldn’t help but do another, very different fish tacos pair-up. If you have some extra time today, make the artichoke heart dip for the tacos (first 6 ingredients from that recipe) to use with tonight’s SERVING SUGGESTION at bottom. You’ll be even farther ahead with the tacos for tomorrow!
Ingredients
Method
- Prep Work: Cut red onion and tomato.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread a little olive oil on bottom of a baking pan. Place fillets in pan, lightly salt and pepper, squeeze lemon juice all over, drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle panko (small breadcrumbs).
- Cut onion and tomato, then distribute evenly over tops of fillets.
- Bake for 25 min. or until fish begins to flake when you push it gently with a fork. After 15 min. add asparagus to pan, sprinkle lightly with olive oil and lemon zest, then return to oven for the last 10 min. of baking.
- Begin checking fish at 20 min. because it can get over cooked quickly. It will cook a little more once you take it out so keep that in mind when determining “doness”. Set aside 3 fillets for tacos tomorrow. SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve with dip from Cod Fish Tacos (first 6 ingredients) or Artichoke Heart Dip(same thing) accompanied by chunks of bread, toasted pita bread pieces, corn chips or cut vegetables. PINEAPPLE PARFAIT: A great way to use the rest of the cottage cheese (from the artichoke dip) and make a delicious dessert in minutes. OTL 2011
