Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Four 5-ounce pieces cod
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 shallot, sliced into rings
2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
One 13.75-can artichoke hearts, quartered
1/3 cup kalamata olives, halved
1 tablespoon capers
1/4 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Season the cod on all sides with salt and pepper and set aside. Heat a 10-inch cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the shallot and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned. Add in the asparagus, artichoke hearts, olives and capers. Cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add in the wine and let it reduce slightly, about 1 minute. Add in the lemon juice.
  • Gently nestle the cod into the vegetables. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the cod easily flakes apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Plate the cod and vegetables and spoon any juices from the bottom of the pan over the fish. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a nonstick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent the cod from sticking.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet. If necessary, cook the cod in batches.
  • Cook the cod until it is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Overcooking will make the cod dry and tough.
  • Make sure the lemon juice and capers are evenly distributed over the cod before baking.
  • Serve the cod immediately with the asparagus and sauce.

Conclusion:

Baked Cod Piccata with Asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cod is flaky and tender, the sauce is tangy and flavorful, and the asparagus is perfectly roasted. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
