Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat the asparagus with cooking spray and cook 6–8 minutes or until just tender-crisp, turning occasionally. Set aside on a rimmed serving platter and cover to keep warm.
-
Coat both sides of the fish with cooking spray, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, if desired, and cook 3 minutes on each side or until opaque in center.
-
Meanwhile, combine the light butter, lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt, if desired, in a small bowl.
-
Spoon the butter mixture over the asparagus and spread over all. Top with the fish and squeeze lemon juice over fish.
