Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place asparagus on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp parsley, and 1 tsp dill. Pat tilapia fillets dry with paper towels, then brush both sides with the herb mixture.
3. Step 3: Roast asparagus for 12 minutes until tender-crisp. Place tilapia on the baking sheet with asparagus during the last 10 minutes of roasting, ensuring it's not overcrowded.
4. Step 4: Squeeze remaining lemon juice over fish and garnish with remaining parsley and dill just before serving.
