Moisten the asparagus and fish with olive oil and season. Arrange in a single layer on a baking pan lined with baking paper.
Mix the mayonnaise with the Parmesan and spread over the fish.
Roast in a fierce oven at 250ºC for 7 minutes or until the asparagus is tender-crisp and the fish just cooked.
Squeeze the lemon over the asparagus. Serve with steamed halved new potatoes.
Cook's note: you can use any sustainable white fish instead of hake.
