- 1 (6 -8 ounce) fresh halibut (Alaskan or Californian)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

directions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- For the Salsa: Heat a saute pan, add 1 tsp canola oil and lightly saute the asparagus until just cooked. This only takes a minute or so. Remove from heat and cool.
- When asparagus is cooled, mix together the onion, tomato, cilantro, asparagus, jalapeno, olive oil, lime juice and salt and pepper.
- For the Halibut: Sprinkle halibut with salt, pepper and ground cumin.

- Put pan in the preheated 400 degree oven and finish cooking with seared side down. When cooked (cooking time for this will vary on the thickness of the piece of fish) remove from pan and place on a plate, top with asparagus salsa, garnish with crispy tortillas and serve hot.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
