Yield Makes 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 7

pounds organic asparagus, tough ends trimmed, cut into 1" pieces
•2 tablespoons chili powder
•1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
•1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
•1 pound tilapia, Pacific sole, or other firm white-fish fillet
•2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
•3 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Bring an inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Put asparagus in a steamer basket, place in the pan, cover, and steam until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large plate, spreading out to cool. Combine chili powder, garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt on a plate. Dredge fillets in the spice mixture to coat. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook until just opaque in the center, gently turning halfway, 5 to 7 minutes total. Divide among 4 plates. Immediately add lemon juice, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and asparagus to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until the asparagus is coated and heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve the asparagus with the fish.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but this recipe changed my mind. The tilapia was so moist and flavorful, and the chili rub gave it a nice kick. The asparagus and lemon were also cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
