Ingredients Tap to check off
Instructions
1
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes so the cooking chamber becomes thoroughly hot.
2
Snap woody ends from asparagus spears, mince garlic cloves, and chop fresh parsley on the cutting board.
3
Toss asparagus spears in a shallow dish with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
4
Arrange the seasoned asparagus spears along one side of the preheated air fryer basket in an even layer.
5
Stir together panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, melted butter, garlic powder, dried oregano, and lemon zest in a bowl.
6
Pat cod fillets completely dry with paper towels, then season both sides evenly with fine sea salt and pepper.
7
Brush the top surface of each cod fillet with Dijon mustard to create an adhesive, savory binder.
8
Press the panko-parmesan mixture firmly onto the mustard-coated tops to form a thick, golden crust.
9
Carefully place crusted cod fillets crust-side up beside the asparagus in the hot air fryer basket.
10
Air fry undisturbed for 8 to 9 minutes until crust is deeply golden and fish flakes easily with a fork.
11
Divide roasted asparagus and crusted cod between plates, squeezing fresh lemon juice over everything and scattering chopped parsley.
