Chili-Rubbed Tilapia with Asparagus & Lemon

Today Leslie H. submitted a recipe from Jillian Michaels daily newsletter. Jillian Michaels got this recipe from www.eatingwell.com. I am going to be posting the original recipe along with my modified version of it.
Enjoy!

Chili-Rubbed Tilapia with Asparagus & Lemon
From eatingwell.com


Serves: 4
Cooking/Prep time: 20 mins


Ingredients
2 pounds asparagus, tough ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic, powder
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1 pound tilapia, Pacific sole or other firm white fish fillets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Preparation
Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Put asparagus in a steamer basket, place in the pan, cover and steam until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large plate, spreading out to cool. Combine chili powder, garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt on a plate. Dredge fillets in the spice mixture to coat. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook until just opaque in the center, gently turning halfway, 5 to 7 minutes total. Divide among 4 plates. Immediately add lemon juice, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and asparagus to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until the asparagus is coated and heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve the asparagus with the fish.

I decided to forgo the olive oil and use Pam olive oil cooking spray. Do so saves you a total 59.5 calories and 7 grams per serving.
