Preparation

Step 1

Cut 2 inch tips from the asparagus spears and cook in boiling salted water until crisp-tender, or about three minutes. Drain. Place the tips in a bowl filled with ice water to cool. Drain and set aside.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, cover, and cook until tender, stirring occasionally. This should take about ten minutes. Add the asparagus tips, 3 tablespoons of butter, and the tomatoes to the mushrooms. Stir until the butter melts and the vegetables are heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper. Add the fish fillets to the skillet and cook until opaque in the center, about 2 minutes on each side.

Place the fillets in the center of each of four warmed plates. Top with the mushrooms and asparagus mixture and serve immediately.
