Oven-Roasted Alaska Cod Gremolata - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon dried parsley
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper
4 alaska cod fillets, thawed (4-6oz each) or 4 frozen cod fillets
1 lb trimmed fresh asparagus (whole) or 1 lb green beans (whole)

Preparation

In a small bowl, mix parsley, oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, and salt and pepper, to taste; set aside.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place asparagus into a spray-coated 9 x 13-inch ovenproof dish. Spoon 2/3 of parsley mixture onto asparagus.
Rinse any ice glaze from frozen cod fillets under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Place fillets on top of asparagus. Sprinkle cod with remaining parsley mixture. Roast, uncovered 20 to 25 minutes for frozen fillets or 15-20 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.
