Asparagus Fish Bake image

Found in the magazine Cooking for Two Spring 2006. Another simple and delicious recipe. I am writing as posted but I generally mince some garlic and a few red pepper flakes (for some zing) and add to the onion when sauting in butter. I also season the fish with a little Old Bay Seasoning and use panko crumbs for the saltines.
