Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the tilapia fillet dry with a paper towel.
Season the tilapia on both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix lemon juice with minced garlic.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. If desired, lightly spray with cooking spray.
Cook the tilapia for about 3-4 minutes per side until the exterior is crispy and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
During the last minute of cooking, drizzle the lemon garlic mixture over the tilapia, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove the asparagus from the oven once done, and serve alongside the crispy lemon garlic tilapia.
