What You Need

lemons, divided

1/2

cup KRAFT Sun Dried Tomato Vinaigrette Dressing

tilapia fillets (1 lb.)

lb. fresh asparagus spears, trimmed

Make It

SQUEEZE juice from 1 lemon; mix with dressing. Pour half over fish in shallow dish; turn to coat both sides of each fillet. Refrigerate 15 min. to marinate. Refrigerate remaining dressing mixture for later use.

MEANWHILE, heat grill to medium heat. Cut each of the remaining lemons into 4 slices. Remove fish from marinade; discard marinade. Place 8 lemon slices on grill grate; top with fish. Brush with some of the remaining dressing mixture. Grill 5 min.; turn.

ADD remaining lemon slices and asparagus to grill. Cook 5 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork and asparagus is crisp-tender, brushing occasionally with remaining dressing mixture. Remove fish, lemon slices and asparagus from grill. Discard lemon slices under fish. Serve remaining lemon slices with fish and asparagus.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Prepare using other firm-fleshed fish fillets, such as cod or salmon.

How to Grill Vegetables

Serve with grilled fresh vegetables. Just toss your favorite vegetables, such as quartered red and green peppers or zucchini, cut lengthwise in half, with your favorite KRAFT Dressing, using about 2 Tbsp. dressing for each cup of vegetables. Drain the vegetables, then add to the grill for the last 5 to 7 min. of the fish grilling time. Grill until tender, turning occasionally.

How to Determine When Fish is Cooked

Fish is done when it looks opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Undercooked fish looks translucent, while overcooked fish looks dry and falls apart.

This was wonderful! I used tilapia and italian dressing because I can no longer find the sun-dried tomato dressing. The flavor from cooking it on top of the lemons is fabulous. My family loved it.

I loved this! It was fantastic on the grill. My whole family raved about it! I had never cooked lemons or asparagus on the grill before. I loved the way the asparagus came out on the grill. It was perfect!

This is delicious! I actually baked the fish and stove prepared the asparagus due to extreme temperatures outdoors but it still turned out great!

This was my first time making fish, and it turned out great. Even my picky 4 yr old loved it. I used the roasted red pepper dressing instead because thats what I had in the house, and I also didn't brush any extra dressing on while on the grill. Nice lemon flavor. Will make again.
