This week's Biggest Loser pop challenge was a 30-minute cooking challenge judged by chefs Curtis Stone and Lorena Garcia. While they were impressed with a lot of the dishes, they did have some favorites. Here are a few:

The winner: Baked Cod with Asparagus
(Moses and Olivia)

4 ounces fresh cod fillet

1/2 bunch fresh asparagus (8 ounces)

1 bunch scallions (green onions), cleaned and trimmed

Parmesan cheese (grated)

1 lemon

Pepper

Garlic powder

Dill (preferably fresh)

Cooking oil spray

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray baking dish with cooking oil

spray. Place scallions on bottom of baking dish (making a bed for the cod). Season

cod with 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 lemon juiced, 1/8 teaspoon coarse black

pepper, and a sprig of dill. Tent cod baking dish with a piece of foil. Set aside while

preparing asparagus.

Place asparagus in another baking dish or baking pan and spray lightly with cooking

oil spray. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon parmesan, 1/4

lemon juiced, and 1/8 teaspoon coarse black pepper. Place both dishes in preheated

oven and bake for 7 minutes.

In the meantime, slice the other half of the lemon and caramelize the slices in a pan.

Remove asparagus from oven; keep warm. Remove tent from cod. Bake cod for

another 3 minutes. Place cod on a dinner plate. Top with a fresh dill sprig and a

caramelized lemon wheel. Place asparagus next to cod on plate. Sprinkle with

remainder of parmesan
