Method
To make the Lemon Caper Crumb, place all ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
Cook asparagus or beans in boiling water for 1 minute. Cool under cold running water then
drain.
Preheat oven to 220°C fan bake and line a large, shallow oven dish with baking paper for easy clean up.
Arrange fish and asparagus or beans in a single layer in the prepared dish, season to taste and drizzle with olive oil. Divide Lemon Caper Crumb between fish fillets. Roast until crumbs are golden and crisp and fish is just cooked through (about 8 minutes). It should give when gently pressed. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.
