Instructions

Preheat your oven 400°F (OR 200°C).
Place a piece of parchment paper (or aluminum foil) into a large rimmed baking sheet. Spray with avocado oil and arrange the tilapia filets, pat them dry with paper towel. Next, arrange the asparagus on both sides of the asparagus.
Melt butter in a small saucepan. Once melted, remove and add in garlic, parsley, lemon juice, kosher salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Stir to combine.
Spoon the garlic lemon butter over top of the tilapia and asparagus. Use a brush to spread the butter mixture to evenly cover the fish and asparagus.
Place in a preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, rotating the pan half way through. Then move it to a rack in the highest position in your oven and turn the broiler on. Broil for 2 to 3 more minutes or until the fish is completely opaque and flakes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
