Lemon Tilapia fish with asparagus and brown rice

4-6 Tilapia fish fillets
2 bunches of asparagus
1 lemon
olive oil
2-3 cloves garlic
salt & pepper to taste

Wash and trim the asparagus. How do you know how much to cut off the end? Bend towards the end and the part that you should cut off will snap. Do this with one and line up the rest of the asparagus using the first one as a guide and cut with a sharp knife all at once.
Place skillet on the stove over medium heat, once heated thoroughly add olive oil to coat the bottom. Toss in the asparagus, chop the garlic and add to the skillet. Let cook for about 5 minutes. Cut the lemon into slices, set aside. Place the tilapia fish over the asparagus, add salt & pepper to taste. Place the lemon slices over the fish and cover for 7-10 minutes.

Make brown rice (see my brown rice recipe). I added some roasted chiles stuffed with Jack cheese. Enjoy!
