Lemony Grilled Mahi Mahi with Asparagus

Servings: 4

Serving Size: 3 oz mahi mahi and 8 asparagus spears

Ingredients:

1 lb. mahi mahi, cut into 4 equal portions

2 bunches asparagus, ends trimmed

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

1/8 tsp garlic powder

Cooking spray

Juice of ½ lemon

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Combine salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Coat fish with cooking spray and sprinkle with seasoning blend, evenly coating both sides.
  3. Oil the grill rack to avoid sticking: oil a folded piece of paper towel, hold it with long tongs, and rub it over the rack. Place the asparagus perpendicular to the grates on one side of the grill. Place the fish on the other side, turning once until opaque, about 3-5 minutes per side. Grill the asparagus, about 7 minutes, turning occasionally until slightly charred.
  4. Before serving, squeeze the juice out of ½ lemon over all fish and asparagus.
