ASPARAGUS DIP

Steps:

• Boil a pot of water. While it's heating to boiling, clean up the end of the asparagus (I cut them off) and then boil them for 3 minutes.
• Drain them and put them in a cold water bath.
• In a blender, mix the Parmesan cheese, garlic clove, onion and softened cream cheese together until blended.
• Add the asparagus and pulse a few times to mix that in. We actually really blended it in, just because I love the green color.
• Put the asparagus dip into a heat proof dish and sprinkle with some more Parmesan cheese.
• Bake at 350F for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is hot and bubbly and the top is slightly browned.

FABULOUS BAKED FISH AND ASPARAGUS SPEARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Heat a large ovenproof nonstick skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the EVOO to the pan, once around the pan. Add the fennel seeds, garlic, and shallots to the pan and cook for 2 minutes.
• Rinse the fish fillets and pat them dry. Season the fish with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the capers, tomatoes, the remaining tablespoon of EVOO, the balsamic vinegar, basil, and clam juice. Add the mixture to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Slide the fish fillets into the pan. Spoon the sauce over the fish and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake the fish for 15 minutes, or until cooked through, adding the bread to the oven to warm through for the last minute or two.
• While the fish cooks, boil the asparagus in an inch of water for 3 minutes, then drain and dress it with a little lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
• Serve the fish with lots of juice for mopping up with crusty bread and the asparagus spears alongside.
