Cod baked simply and finished with a lemony cottage cheese sauce that stands in for a butter or cream sauce without going bland. Asparagus roasts alongside on the same tray.

Blending the cottage cheese into a sauce instead of serving it plain is the move. You get the protein without the curds.

Try it this way

Swap the dill for basil and lemon for a more Mediterranean take, or use salmon instead of cod.
