Ingredients

1 pound asparagus, tough ends trimmed
1 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon ground white pepper, divided
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 (4-ounce) trout fillets
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup capers, drained
2 tablespoons garlic, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary leaves

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Set a large 4-quart Dutch oven 3/4 filled with water over high heat. Bring the water to a boil and add the asparagus. Cook until the asparagus is tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the asparagus from the Dutch oven and place immediately into ice water to cool. Remove from the ice water and place on a sheet pan. Season the asparagus with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the white pepper and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Place in the oven for 3 minutes to re-warm once the fish has been removed from the oven.

Season the fish fillets on both sides with the remaining salt and pepper and lay in a 11 by 7 1/2-inch casserole dish. Add the tomatoes, capers, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, rosemary and remaining olive oil to the casserole and place in the oven. Cook the fish until the flesh is lightly golden and flaky, about 10 minutes.

To serve the fish, divide the asparagus between 4 entree plates and lay a piece of fish with the tomatoes, capers, garlic and rosemary over the asparagus. Serve immediately.

Awesome Baked Fish Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was quick, easy, and delicious. I used broccoli instead and served it over fried polenta. OMG! The only... thing I was missing was crusty Italian bread. :-) Read more

Good but Made slight alterations / Lost the "Bam"
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Hi Emeril! I found this recipe when I searched the site for "fish". I hadn't pre-planned this meal so, I only had 90% of... the ingredients on hand. [No asparagus bed, subbed the white pepper with lemon pepper, used dried rosemary instead of fresh, and fresh Turbot instead of Trout...] So that probably explains the lack of "bam". I thought the blend of flavors was light but, still very interesting. The garlic and the tomato and the the olive oil with capers did a happy dance in the bottom of the dish. However, my young children and husband said it lacked kick but, still liked it. It was so fast and easy (and yummy to me...) that I'd cook it again in a heartbeat. With all of the proper ingredients next time. Thanks, Susannah Memphis, TNRead more

great presentation and easy to prepare
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This dish was very easy and used ingredients I had on hand. I used breaded filets as that was all my store had, and it... worked just fine. It tasted delicious and my husband was impressed with the presentation. I can't wait to make it for guests!Read more
