1 Prepare the Ingredients
If you have a top broiler, move oven rack to top position. Trim and slice green onions in half lengthwise. Halve lemon and juice one half. Slice other half into 1/4" slices. Stem and coarsely chop dill. Trim cucumbers and cut into 1/4” rounds. Halve grape tomatoes. Trim woody ends off asparagus. Rinse tilapia fillets and pat dry.
-
2 Prepare the Asparagus
Place asparagus on half of prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tsp. olive oil, season with 1/4 tsp. salt, a pinch of pepper, and toss to coat.
-
3 Bake the Tilapia and Asparagus
Place tilapia fillets on other half of baking sheet and season with paprika, a pinch of salt and pepper, and lemon juice. Place green onions, capers, lemon slices, and 2 tsp. olive oil around fish. Place baking sheet on top rack and broil for 5-7 minutes, or until fish reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees. Remove from oven and sprinkle with dill.
-
4 Make the Salad
While fish is cooking, combine tomatoes, cucumbers, 1 tsp. olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
-
5 Plate the Dish
Place tomato-cucumber salad and asparagus on a plate. Fish will be very fragile, so use a spatula to transfer it to plate. Serve green onions, capers, and lemon slices on tilapia.
