Cod Fillets with Dijon, Asparagus & Bacon

I found these beautiful cod fillets and bought them with no idea how I would prepare them. One night, tired from work but hungry, it came to me! There is some asparagus and a few slices of bacon in the refrigerator. I can prep it fast and get chores done while it cooks. Then make a salad, pop the cork on some wine, put on some soft music and relax with a deliciously light meal. Ah, day is done.

Here’s How to Do it:

Cut 4 pieces of 12″ X 12″ foil.

Bundle four asparagus spears and wrap at the base with bacon. Lay one bundle in the middle of each foil square.

Lay one cod fillet on the top of each asparagus bundle.

Add 1 Tablespoon of water to each.

Drizzle 1 tablespoon each of melted ghee and dijon mustard over the top of each piece of cod.

Fold the top and the sides of the foil, sealing in the fish and asparagus.

Bake at 350° for  20 minutes – open the foil to vent.

Turn the temperature up to 425° and bake for another 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven. Carefully remove from the foil and serve!
