2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 cup alfredo pasta sauce, store bought
Fresh basil, for garnish

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Pour oil into a 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Arrange fish over oil, folding the ends under the middle to create little pockets. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Roast for 5 minutes. Add asparagus to dish and roast for 5 to 7 minutes longer. Remove from oven and keep fish warm. Remove asparagus and reserve.
