I got this in an e-mail and made it yesterday for lunch...super easy and fast. Although, I didn't do the asparagus because I didn't have any in the house so I just made a bag of steamfresh green beans.

I also wanted to suggest to not use the 1/2 tsp of salt or just use maybe 1/4tsp because I felt the garlic powder added enough salt.

Chili-Rubbed Tilapia With Asparagus and Lemon

2 pounds asparagus, tough ends trimmed, cut into 1" pieces
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1 pound fish, tilapia, Pacific sole, or other firm white-fish fillet
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Preparation
Bring an inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Put asparagus in a steamer basket, place in the pan, cover, and steam until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large plate, spreading out to cool.
Combine chili powder, garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt on a plate. Dredge fillets in the spice mixture to coat. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook until just opaque in the center, gently turning halfway, 5 to 7 minutes total.
Divide among 4 plates. Immediately add lemon juice, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and asparagus to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until the asparagus is coated and heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve the asparagus with the fish.
Makes 4 servings.

I broke all of the ingredients down to single portions and ended up with only 250 calories with the tilapia, green beans, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Hope you like it!
