Ingredients

  • 24 asparagus spears (about 1/2 pound)
  • 1 cup red bell pepper strips (1/4 inch thick), cut in half crosswise
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 4 (6-ounce) grouper or other firm white fish fillets
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Method

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Snap off tough ends of asparagus. Cut asparagus into 2-inch pieces. Toss asparagus and peppers with olive oil, and place on a jelly roll pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon dill, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, tossing gently to coat. Set aside, and keep warm.
  • Arrange fillets on a jelly roll pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle fillets evenly with remaining 1/4 teaspoon dill, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Bake at 425° for 10 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Top with asparagus mixture. Serve immediately.
