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 had some trouble finding chili powder, but I used paprika instead and it turned out great. The tilapia was cooked perfectly and the asparagus was tender. The lemon added a nice brightness to the dish. I will definitely be making this again.

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.

I tried this recipe last night and it turned out great! The tilapia was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The asparagus was cooked perfectly and the lemon added a nice brightness to the dish. I will definitely be making this again.
