Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 fillets cod (4 ounces each)
  • 1 pound asparagus ends trimmed
  • 1 lemon thinly sliced
  • Freshly cracked pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to broil (500°F).
  • In a blender or small food processor combine the oil, basil, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Blitz until the garlic is finely minced.
  • Place the cod and asparagus in a baking dish or Ziploc bag. Pour the marinade on top and make sure everything is evenly coated. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the cod and asparagus to a rimmed baking sheet. Place the fish in the middle and the asparagus on the sides.
  • Place a few lemon slices over each piece of fish, and season with plenty of cracked pepper.
  • Cook for 7-10 minutes. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork when done.
  • Serve immediately. Garnish with extra lemon slices and fresh parsley, if desired.
