Author Michele Phillips, BaconFatte.com

Ingredients

  • 1, Whitefish filet
  • fresh asparagus, trimmed & washed (or other vegetable of choice)
  • fresh basil and/or other herbs
  • good quality olive oil
  • sea salt & pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 lemon, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

  3. Drizzle olive oil on both sides of the Whitefish filet, and rub to completely coat. Place filet – skin side down – on the parchment and season lightly with salt & pepper.

  4. Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt & pepper, and place spears on the sheet pan.

  5. Thinly slice a lemon and place several slices on top of filet. Reserve additional slices for serving.

  6. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes, or until Whitefish is opaque and reaches cooked temperature of 140 degrees F.

  7. To serve: Squeeze lemon on fish and vegetables, and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

*This baked fish doesn’t “brown” – just bake it long enough to reach the proper temperature. Asparagus should still have some crunch to it.
