Roasted White Fish with Cherry Tomatoes

Roasting fish in the same pan as a buttery tomato sauce helps to build flavor in both elements of this colorful dish.
Smarts: This sauce is delicious spicy, but feel free to skip the red pepper flakes for a milder version.

  4. Remove pan from heat and nestle fish in tomatoes and sauce.

  6. Spread asparagus out on a sheet pan. Toss with cooking oil and some salt and pepper.

  7. Roast asparagus on the top rack until tender, 12 to 18 minutes (depending on thickness).
