Lemon Thyme Swordfish with Asparagus Recipe

In a blender or food processor process the cottage cheese until creamy. Transfer the cottage cheese to a small bowl and stir in the milk 1 1/2 teaspoons of the lemon juice parsley basil and 1/2 teaspoon of the dried thyme. Cover and chill in the refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place the fish in an 8x8 inch baking dish. Pour the water and the remaining lemon juice into the dish. Place the bay leaf in the water and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme over the fish. Cover the dish with foil.

Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork and is opaque all the way through.

Meanwhile place asparagus in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water and cover. Cook until tender but still firm about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain.

When fish is done transfer to a serving platter and arrange the asparagus next to the fish. Serve with the cottage cheese sauce.
