Instructions
Put a steamer basket in a large pot over 1-inch of boiling salted water.
Add the asparagus; cover and steam until it is crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
In a small dish, stir together the mint, garlic, lemon zest and pepper flakes.
Brush the tilapia with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add 2 tilapia fillets to hot pan; cook, turning once, until opaque throughout, 5 to 7 minutes total.
Transfer to plates. Repeat with remaining tilapia.
Serve the tilapia with the asparagus; garnish with gremolata mixture.
Drizzle the asparagus and fish with olive oil, if desired.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Sparkling Wine, Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner
Pinot Noir, Sparkling Wine, and Pinot Grigio are great choices for Tilapia. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Cupcake Vineyards Pinot Noir with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

This wine has a lovely garnet hue and heady aromas of black cherries, ripe strawberries, red raspberries and a hint of spice with a creamy finish.
