Today was a hectic day. So much to do and it flew by! At 5:00, I was still busy and I knew that dinner had to be something I could prepare fast.

Luckily, I had prepared this meal the week before and knew I wanted to share it. This is a great meal that is fast and on the table in minutes. You probably have all the ingredients in your pantry so just pick up the fish and asparagus and you are good to go!

I used swordfish tonight although the week before I had prepared it with salmon. Any fish would be great with this sauce, so don’t feel limited. The honey-mustard sauce is what really makes the dish amazing. 

Ingredients for the Swordfish

1 (6oz.) piece of swordfish for each person
3 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tbsp. whole grain Dijon mustard
2 tsp. Honey
1/2 tsp. Soy sauce
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. pepper (plus a little more to sprinkle on fish)

Set oven to 350.

Sprinkle both sides of fish with salt and pepper.

Place in oven for 25 minutes. Set your timer! You do not want overcooked fish!

Mix all of the ingredients together (with the exception of the salt). Let it set together while fish is baking.

When the fish is finished, spread the honey-mustard mixture over the top.

Ingredients for the Asparagus

1 bunch of asparagus
2 tbsp. olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp. Kosher salt
1 tsp. pepper

Today’s hint: To make asparagus correctly, you should peel them. This will get rid of all those thick nubs and your asparagus will taste sweet. You have to be very careful with very thin asparagus. Peel it very gently. I know this takes some extra time, but it is the right way to prepare it and it is worth it in the end!

Set your oven to 500.

Mix the asparagus with all of the ingredients above.

Place in pan and put it in the oven for 10 minutes.

Dinner is done! How fast was that?

It’s that simple!
