Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400oF (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2: In a shallow plate, mix the parmesan, garlic, paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Arrange the Cobia fillet on the center of the baking sheet and place trimmed asparagus around the Cobia.

Step 4: Drizzle the Cobia filet with olive oil, then sprinkle the cheese mixture over the Cobia, pressing it in lightly with your fingers.

Step 5: Season asparagus with salt, pepper, any leftover cheese mixture.

Step 6: Bake until the Cobia is opaque in the thickest part, about 15 minutes. You can crisp up the parmesan crust for 1 minute under the broiler if you like.

Step 7: Serve the baked Cobia with lemon slices optional.
