## Ingredients

- 4 fillet Tilapia fillet — thawed. Source gives no fillet weight.

- 4 cup asparagus — about 4.5 ounces or 12-14 spears, woody ends removed

- 2 tbsp butter

- 4 tsp minced garlic

- 12 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese

- 4 tbsp mayonnaise

- 4 tsp minced green onion

- 2 tsp lemon juice

- to taste salt and pepper to taste. Source does not state an amount; measure to taste or as needed.

- Not specified Lemon slices — sliced. Source does not state an amount; measure to taste or as needed. Optional; excluded or included as stated in the publisher nutrition.

## Equipment

- Oven

- Baking dish

- Mixing bowl

- Instant-read thermometer

## Cook

Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.

1. **First bake.** Place asparagus and fish beside each other in the dish. Mix melted butter with garlic and drizzle over asparagus. Season asparagus and fish to taste. Bake for 10 minutes.

2. **Topping.** While they bake, mix parmesan, mayonnaise, green onion and lemon juice. Turn fish over and spread this topping onto it.

3. **Finish.** Bake another 6–10 minutes, until asparagus is tender and fish flakes easily. Serve with optional lemon slices.

## Nutrition per serving

Calories: 349 kcal; protein: 32.8 g; total carbs: 6.7 g; fiber: 2.9 g; net carbs: 3.8 g

Publisher estimate per original portion; proportional ingredient scaling preserves that portion.

Known allergens for these plates: egg, fish, milk. Check product labels and cross-contact.

## First-cook checks and limits

- The original recipe makes 1 portion. It specifies 1 tilapia piece without a weight and 1 cup asparagus, approximately 4.5 oz or 12–14 spears.

- Season both the fish and asparagus with salt and pepper, then bake together. The publisher does not specify separate seasoning amounts for each.

- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 1 original portion to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.

- Adapted from Annie. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.

- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.

## Leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
