What type of cod should I use for this recipe?

You can use any variety of cod filets, such as Atlantic cod or Pacific cod. Fresh or frozen cod works well, just be sure to thaw it first if using frozen. Thawing frozen fish overnight in the fridge is the safest way to do so!

Can I use other types of fish instead of cod?

You sure can! You can substitute cod with other white fish varieties like haddock, halibut, or tilapia.

Can I add additional vegetables to the dish?

Absolutely! Feel free to customize this recipe by adding other vegetables such as bell peppers, brussels sprouts, zucchini, or mushrooms to the roasting pan for added nutrients and flavor!

Can I prepare this roasted cod with vegetables in advance?

While roasted cod with asparagus and tomatoes is best enjoyed fresh from the oven, you can prepare the components ahead of time and assemble them just before roasting for convenience. Store the seasoned cod, prepped asparagus, and tomatoes separately in the refrigerator until ready to roast.

How do I store leftovers and how long will they last?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through before serving.
