Preparation

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Combine the asparagus and onions. Spray pan with oil, add vegetables and season with salt and pepper, add the halved lemon cut-side down to the pan to char, cook 4 to 5 minutes, tossing occasionally, remove to platter and douse with juice of ½ charred lemon once cool enough to handle. Add more oil and season fish with salt and pepper and place skinned-side up, cook 3 minutes, turn and season with thyme, cook 2 minutes more, place on plate and top with juice of ½ remaining charred lemon.

To pan, reduce heat and add Pernod or vinegar, then wine and butter, add vegetables back to pan and toss, set fish in place over vegetables, spoon a bit of sauce over fish and top dish with tarragon and parsley to serve.
