with Roasted Asparagus & Lemon Parsley Rice
Cobia is a buttery mild fish that’s firm enough to hold together while it cooks, and has an ideal amount of fat to keep it juicy. It’s just about a perfect fish—you’ll love it! Here, we coat cobia fillets with crunchy, buttery panko and bold, punchy Old Bay seasoning and roast it along with salt-and-pepper asparagus. Serve this delicious fish atop a fluffy bed of lemon parsley rice and finish with a drizzle of Old Bay-spiced crema.

Asparagus
6 ounce
Parsley
0.25 ounce
Sour Cream

Cooking Oil
2 teaspoon
Butter
2 tablespoon
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. • In a small pot, combine rice, 3⁄4 cup water (11⁄2 cups for 4), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to use in Step 5.
• While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. • Trim and discard bottom 1 inch from asparagus. Roughly chop parsley. Zest and quarter lemon.
• In a small bowl, combine sour cream and 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning (2 tsp for 4 servings). Add water 1 tsp at a time until sauce reaches a drizzling consistency. • Place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, 30 seconds. • Let cool slightly, then stir in panko and 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning (2 tsp for 4). (Be sure to measure the Old Bay Seasoning—we sent more!)
• Toss asparagus on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper (for 4 servings, spread out across entire sheet). • Lightly oil empty side of baking sheet (for 4, use a second baking sheet). Pat cobia* dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. • Place cobia on oiled side of sheet; brush tops with a thin layer of sauce (save the rest for serving). Mound with panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere (no need to coat the undersides). • Roast on top rack (for 4, roast asparagus on top rack and cobia on middle rack) until crust is golden brown and fish is cooked through, 12-15 minutes.
• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in parsley, lemon zest, 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and a squeeze of lemon juice until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide cobia, rice, and asparagus between plates. Drizzle remaining sauce over cobia and serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side. ***Cobia is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.***
