When we say this recipe is simple, we mean it! Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F. We want it nice and hot to get this fish perfectly roasted!

Place the cod filets and veggies on a sheet pan—be sure they’re in a single layer so everything cooks evenly. Now the fun part: sprinkle on some salt, pepper, and oregano. The oregano will give it a delicious Mediterranean flair!

Finally, drizzle on some olive oil to get everything glistening. Pop it in the oven and roast for about 20 minutes, until the fish is so tender it flakes apart with just a fork.

The wait is torture but so worth it! Pull it out of the oven and serve immediately. The aromas will have everyone running to the table!

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!

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?

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.
