  • 1/4 cup dry sherry or Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 cup fresh parsley sprigs
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated gingerroot

Progresso Broth

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oven to 425°F. Cut fish into 4 serving pieces. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Divide radish and asparagus evenly among and on center of each sheet. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of the sherry and 1/8 teaspoon of the salt. Top with fish. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
  • Step 
    2
    Place packets on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake about 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.
  • Step 
    3
    Meanwhile, place all parsley paste ingredients in blender. Cover; blend on medium to high speed, stopping blender frequently to scrape sides, until smooth.
  • Step 
    4
    To serve, cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape. Spoon about 2 tablespoons parsley paste over each serving. Garnish with pine nuts.
