ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH CRUNCHY PARMESAN TOPPING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan.
• Rinse asparagus and break off woody bottoms. Peel if thick. Lay stalks in a baking dish that will hold them in two or three layers. If the asparagus are thick, add a splash of water. Drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper; place in oven.
• Roast until the asparagus are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Test for doneness by piercing a spear with point of a sharp knife; it should slide in but meet a little resistance. (Up to this point, the recipe can be made as much as two hours before serving; just leave asparagus at room temperature.).
• Turn on broiler and place rack as close as possible to heating element. Top asparagus with cheese-crumb mixture and run under broiler to brown for 1-2 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

MARINATED COD FILLETS W/POTATO SCALES

Steps:

• Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl, mix well & set aside.
• Remove any skin from fish fillets. Place fillets in a shallow dish & pour the marinade over them. Cover & refrigerate at least 4-6 hrs or overnight.
• When ready to assemble dish, preheat oven to 400°F.
• Drain marinade from fish fillets & reserve. Pat top side of fish fillets dry w/paper towels & place them in 9x13 in baking dish sprayed w/PAM.
• Using the slicing blade of a food processor, a mandoline or a very sharp knife ... slice the potatoes into uniformly thin slices no thicker than 1/8-inch.
• Overlap potato slices on the surface of the fish fillets & drizzle reserved marinade over the "potato scales".
• Bake fish fillets (uncovered) for 20-25 minutes or till tender (If the potatoes & fish appear to be done & you want a crisper texture or browner color, put the fillets under your broiler for a cpl of minutes).
• NOTES: 1) The thickness of the fillets & potato slices + the tendency of oven temps to vary can cause cooking times to vary as well -- 2) Although written for the use of cod, IMO other white fish varieties will also work well (sole, flounder, snapper, haddock, etc) -- 3) Patting the tops of the fillets dry is very important as it prevents the potato slices from slipping out of position once cooking begins.
