Ingredients

  • 2 pounds asparagus

Cooking Instructions

1. Bring 1 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.

2. Combine chile powder, garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt on a plate. Dredge fillets in the spice mixture to coat. Heat oil in a large nonstick 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.

Healthy and Yummy

WOW! This is a great recipe. I didn't find it spicy at all. Flavorful is more like it. So quick and easy. It is very light and doesn't leave you sluggish. The meal is also high in protein. An after dinner walk leaves you feeling great. I think the Chile-Rubbed Tilapia would also make great fish Tacos. The Asparagus has become my new personal favorite. Try it, you'll love it.
