Put the butter, parsley, lime juice, capers and asparagus in a clean pan set over a medium heat and allow the butter to melt.
To serve, place a fillet of fish on each plate, then spoon the asparagus, capers and melted butter over the fish. Serve with plain boiled baby potatoes and a pinch of sea salt.
