Springtime Fish

During the spring, the hubby and I eat our weight in asparagus--literally!  I've also been trying to incorporate more fish in our lives, and this just came together over the weekend.  I was obsessed and made it twice!  I love that it was a one-pot meal so less clean up, and since it was baked, no standing in the kitchen!

 {Asparagus was bought from local farm, Blue Moon.  Pictured here is owner, Leo Keene.  My family has bought produce from him for years, especially his garlic  (which will be ready in about 4 weeks)!  So delicious!  They are at the Lexington Farmer's Market located on Saturdays in Cheapside Park next to the Courthouse.}

Swai is a fish that I have never heard of until my mother had some and made me try it.  I love it!  It's a lean white fish that will win over any non-seafood person (like my hubby); plus it's cheap!  And you buy local asparagus, green onions, and garlic?  Definitely awesome!
