Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds slender asparagus spears, trimmed to 7-inch lengths
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 tablespoon plus 6 teaspoons olive oil
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 6-ounce cod fillets, pinbones removed
6 ounces paper-thin prosciutto slices, halved lengthwise

Steps:

  • Cook asparagus in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. Transfer to bowl of ice water to cool. Drain well.
  • Mash garlic and 1 teaspoon salt to paste in small bowl. Melt butter with 1 tablespoon oil in small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic paste; stir until pale golden, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice, peel, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Remove from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 500°F. Cut out six 12-inch squares of parchment paper. Place 1 parchment square on work surface. Drizzle 1 teaspoon oil over parchment. Place 1 cod fillet in center of parchment. Spoon 1/6 of garlic-lemon mixture over fish. Cover with 1/6 of asparagus spears. Arrange 1/6 of prosciutto slices over. Fold 2 opposite sides of parchment in over fish and vegetables, then fold in remaining 2 sides, enclosing completely. Fasten parchment edges together with paper clips to seal packet. Place on large rimmed baking sheet. Repeat procedure with remaining parchment, oil, fish, garlic-lemon mixture, asparagus, and prosciutto. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Refrigerate.)
  • Bake fish until just opaque in center (parchment will turn golden brown), about 12 minutes. Transfer 1 parchment packet to each of 6 plates. Open parchment packets and serve.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I will use less prosciutto next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra seasoning and it was much better. I would also recommend serving it with a side of lemon wedges.

The cod was a bit overcooked, but the asparagus and prosciutto were delicious. I think I will try this recipe again with a lower cooking temperature.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were amazing. The cod was moist and flaky, the asparagus was tender and flavorful, and the prosciutto added a nice salty touch. I will definitely be making this again!

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The cod was cooked to perfection and the asparagus and prosciutto were delicious. I served it with a side of roasted potatoes and it was a hit with my family.

This cod dish was a delightful surprise! The combination of flavors and textures was exquisite. The cod was flaky and tender, the asparagus was crisp and flavorful, and the prosciutto added a touch of saltiness that balanced everything out perfectly.
