1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves, crushed
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
4 (4 ounce) swordfish steaks

1
In a blender or food processor, process the cottage cheese until creamy. Transfer the cottage cheese to a small bowl, and stir in the milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the lemon juice, parsley, basil, and 1/2 teaspoon of the dried thyme. Cover and chill in the refrigerator.

Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork and is opaque all the way through.

When fish is done, transfer to a serving platter and arrange the asparagus next to the fish. Serve with the cottage cheese sauce.
