Treat yourself to a delightful culinary experience with this fresh and flavorful dish that combines tender fish with crisp asparagus!

1

Begin by rinsing the asparagus under cold water. Trim the ends and set aside.

2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat for about 2 minutes.

3

Add the asparagus to the skillet and sauté for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want them to become bright green and slightly tender.

4

While the asparagus cooks, season the fish fillet with salt, black pepper, and the juice of half a lemon.

5

Once the asparagus is done, push it to the side of the skillet and add another 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

6

Place the seasoned fish fillet in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until it’s cooked through and flaky.

7

Meanwhile, mince the garlic while the fish is cooking.

8

In the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic to the skillet, stirring it gently with the fish and asparagus.

9

Once everything is cooked, remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley and the remaining lemon juice.

Serve immediately with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste.
