Ingredients: (for 2 servings)

• 4 pangasius fillets – marinate for 3-4 hours before cooking in: 5-6 tablespoons of yogurt, 4 tablespoons of olive oil, a teaspoon of dried parsley, juice of half a lemon, a teaspoon of turmeric, a tablespoon of garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix everything well and leave the fish to marinate, covered, for at least 3 hours. – You can use fillets of any other fish you like and marinate it in the same way.
• 50 g butter
• 15 cherry tomatoes
• 8-10 radishes
• half a mango
• a few sprigs of fresh parsley
• a few sprigs of green scallions
• a lemon + for serving
• 500 g asparagus
• 50 g grated parmesan
• salt + pepper
• olive oil

Preparation:

In a large wok, melt the butter. Add the cleaned asparagus (with the tough ends removed) and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, then cover with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is nicely browned and tender (about 15 minutes). Once cooked, transfer to a plate and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.

Heat a bit of olive oil in a pan, and once hot, cook the fish, browning it nicely on both sides. Then, transfer it to a plate.

While the fish is cooking, prepare the salad. Wash and chop the vegetables: thinly slice the radishes, quarter the tomatoes, dice the mango, and finely chop the greens. Cut the lemon in half—slice one half very thinly. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, squeeze the juice from the other lemon half over them, season with salt and pepper, and toss everything together thoroughly.

Place the salad over the asparagus.

Our meal is ready. 🙂
