Moses and Olivia

Ingredients
4 ounces fresh cod filet
1/2 bunch fresh asparagus (8 ounces)
1 bunch scallions (green onions), cleaned and trimmed
Parmesan cheese (grated)
1 lemon
Pepper
Garlic powder
Dill (preferably fresh)
Cooking oil spray

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray baking dish with cooking oil spray. Place scallions on bottom of baking dish (making a bed for the cod). Season cod with 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 lemon juiced, 1/8 teaspoon coarse black pepper, and a sprig of dill. Tent cod baking dish with a piece of foil. Set aside while preparing asparagus.

Place asparagus in another baking dish or baking pan and spray lightly with cooking oil spray. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon parmesan, 1/4 lemon juiced, and 1/8 teaspoon coarse black pepper. Place both dishes in preheated oven and bake for 7 minutes.

In the meantime, slice the other half of the lemon and caramelize the slices in a pan.
Remove asparagus from oven; keep warm. Remove tent from cod. Bake cod for another 3 minutes. Place cod on a dinner plate. Top with a fresh dill sprig and a caramelized lemon wheel. Place asparagus next to cod on plate. Sprinkle with remainder of parmesan.
