Tilapia and Asparagus with Capers

Michael and I had this delicious meal for dinner last night.  It didn't take too long to put together or cook, but before we got to dinner we went to the gym, Aldi's, and Sprouts.  So by the time we got home and I began cooking dinner we were starving.  It was amazing and REALLY hit the spot once we finally got to eat.  When we have fresh fish from the farm I'll make this recipe with Bass.  In this case I used Tilapia, although the recipe called for Cod.  Basically any white fish will do.  Michael didn't care for the Fish and Chips recipe I made a month or so ago, but he did like this one, so it must have been the way it was prepared and not the Tilapia itself.  Gonna make a fish eater out of him yet.  ;)  The kids would have eaten fish with us as well, but as I mentioned, it was late and they were getting fussy and needed to go to bed, so I whipped them up a couple grilled cheese so they could go ahead and eat and then we could work on getting them to bed and watch the K-State game in peace.  Best laid plans...  They fought bedtime as usual and we were up and down throughout the game.  *sigh*  I'm going to really enjoy waking them up before they're ready when they get to school age.  #Payback  I served the fish and Asparagus with a side of jasmine rice (which has been larva free since I began throwing the rice in the freezer for a week or more once we get it into the house).  The whole meal came out to 400 calories!  Perfect!  If you want to try this recipe as well, here's a link.  I should note, I didn't have lemons, so I used about a teaspoon of lemon juice on each filet.  Don't omit the capers either, they are delicious on this recipe.  And sorry the picture isn't too pretty.  You're lucky I took a picture at all since it was after 8:30 before I got to sit down and eat my dinner.  :P  Enjoy!
