Mahi Mahi With Asparagus and Almond Sauce

• 1/4 cup sliced almonds
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon honey
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dijon mustard
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
• 2 pounds asparagus, tough ends trimmed
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
• 4 6 -ounce skinless mahi mahi fillets (about 1 inch thick)

1. Preheat the broiler.
2. Spread the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet and broil, stirring frequently, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Combine the toasted almonds, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice, honey, mustard, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a blender and blend until smooth.
4. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the parsley.
5. Toss the asparagus with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon water, the lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste on the same baking sheet.
6. Spread in a single layer and broil until the asparagus is bright green and crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
7. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
8. Sprinkle the fish with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and arrange on the same baking sheet, rounded side down; broil until opaque, about 3 minutes.
9. Turn the fillets, brush with some of the almond sauce and continue broiling until just firm and cooked through, 3 to 5 more minutes.
10. Divide the fish and asparagus among plates and top with the remaining almond sauce.
