Tarragon is stronger than the other herbs, so if you use it, don’t add more than a teaspoon to the mix.

SERVES 4

1 1/2 pounds fish fillets (trout, sole, catfish, tilapia, red snapper, cod, turbot)

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and ground white pepper

20 medium asparagus spears, tough ends snapped

1/4 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs (basil, parsley, cilantro, dill, tarragon; see headnote)

1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

1 lemon, quartered

Spray a large (18-by-12-inch) rimmed baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray. Arrange fish in a single layer on baking sheet, leaving room for asparagus. Spread 2 teaspoons of the oil over fish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss asparagus with remaining 1 teaspoon oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange asparagus in a single layer on baking sheet with fish.

Place on bottom rack of oven and turn oven to 400 degrees. Bake until fish is opaque and asparagus is tender-crisp, 15 to 17 minutes. Combine herbs and lemon zest and sprinkle evenly over fish. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
