It’s Lent, which means it’s time for a lot more fish recipes around here. I’m a big seafood fan anyway, but I end up making more seafood recipes than usual during Lent. I made this the other night on Ash Wednesday. It’s a a quick and easy weeknight dinner, and it only requires one pan. I served this with rice, but that was not necessary at all. I actually found I didn’t eat much of the rice. The flavor on the fish was great, and the lemon pepper asparagus was flavorful and cooked perfectly.
