Yields: 2 servings
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 10 min

Ingredients:

Baby Potatoes (see recipe below)
Grilled Asparagus (see recipe below)
Juice from one freshly-squeezed lime
3 teaspoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
Firm white fish fillets (such as Cod, Halibut or Tilapia fillets)
Fresh dill (for garnish)
1 tablespoon capers (for garnish)

Preparation:

In a small bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Place fish (of your choice) into a large dish and brush with lime juice mixture about 20 minutes before grilling; set aside until ready to grill.

Preheat barbecue or gas grill. Oil grilling rack, and adjust height to between 4 to 6 inches from heat.

While the fish is marinating and the grill is preheating, prepare the asparagus for grilling and start cooking the Baby Potatoes.

Grill fish approximately 5 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 140 degrees F. (fish will be slightly opaque in thickest part).

Optional: Have lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the plated food. Try using smoked salt on the fish and asparagus for a nice touch.
