Can I use frozen cod?

Absolutely, Just thaw it overnight in the fridge first and pat it very dry—excess water makes everything steam instead of roast. I actually keep frozen fillets on hand for last-minute meals.

Why is my asparagus soggy?

Two likely culprits: overcrowding the pan (give those spears space to breathe) or skipping the preheat. That blast of hot oven heat is what gives you that perfect crisp-tender texture.

What other veggies work?

Oh, let me count the ways. Broccolini, green beans, or even thinly sliced fennel are fantastic. Just cut them small enough to cook in the same time as the fish—about 1/4 inch thick works best.

Can I prep this ahead?

Sure thing, Chop everything and store it separately in the fridge up to a day in advance. But wait to season and bake until you're ready to eat—that's what keeps the fish perfect.
