  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix basil pesto, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ the lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Place cod filets on the sheet pan. Spread a generous layer of the pesto mixture over each filet.
  4. Toss cherry tomatoes and asparagus with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, the rest of the lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and arrange around the coated cod on the baking sheet.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes or until the cod reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and flakes easily with a fork.
