      Do you think this would work with cod?

      Made this tonight and it was so good. I usually pan fry my salmon but not anymore. I love the idea of the asparagus on the side, too. It is usually the way I make my asparagus with the exception of the cheese. I tried it your way using vegan Parmesan and it was wonderful.
      Thank you for sharing. This will be a regular meal from now on. Easy, healthy and delicious.

      Do you have to use parchment paper? Or can you use tinfoil?

        You don't have to use parchment paper - you can make this in a baking dish that is unlined, or use foil.
