Baked Fish With Fresh Asparagus, Lemon and Herbs
Serves 4
 
1½ pounds fish fillets (trout, sole, catfish, tilapia, red snapper, cod or turbot)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and ground white pepper
20 medium fresh asparagus spears, tough ends snapped
¼ cup chopped mixed fresh herbs (basil, parsley, cilantro, dill, tarragon. Tarragon is stronger than the other herbs, so if you use it, don’t add more than a teaspoon to the mix.)
½ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 lemon, quartered




Directions


1. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray. Arrange fish in a single layer on baking sheet, leaving room for asparagus. Spread 2 teaspoons of the oil over fish and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2. Toss asparagus with remaining teaspoon oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange asparagus in a single layer on baking sheet with fish.
3. Place on bottom rack of oven and turn oven to 400 degrees F. Bake until fish is opaque and asparagus is tender-crisp, 15 to 17 minutes. Combine herbs and lemon zest and sprinkle evenly over fish. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
