Before you start
- Oven
- Baking dish
- Mixing bowl
- Instant-read thermometer
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.
Cook
- 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.
- Topping
While they bake, mix parmesan, mayonnaise, green onion and lemon juice. Turn fish over and spread this topping onto it.
- Finish
Bake another 6–10 minutes, until asparagus is tender and fish flakes easily. Serve with optional lemon slices.
Where your attention goes
Stages can overlap. Do not add every row as separate elapsed time. Safe endpoints and actual appliance behavior override the estimate.
Why this works
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.
Listed allergens: egg, fish, milk. Check purchased labels and cross-contact.
First-cook checks
- 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.
