Ingredients

6 Medium fresh asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
3/4 pound Cod, haddock or orange roughy fillets
1/3 cup Chopped onion
2 tablespoons Butter, divided
1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon Salt
Dash pepper
3/4 cup 2% milk
1/3 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup Crushed saltines (about 7 crackers)
1/8 teaspoon Dried parsley flakes

Preparation

Place the asparagus in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil; cook for 1-2 minutes. Drain and place in a 1-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top with fish; set aside.

In a small saucepan, saute onion in 1 tablespoon butter until tender. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until blended. Gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese until melted. Pour over fish.

Melt remaining butter; stir in crackers and parsley. Sprinkle over cheese sauce. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until crumbs are golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork. Yield: 2 servings.
