In saucepan of boiling water, blanch asparagus until tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Set aside.

In shallow dish, combine flour, salt and pepper. Dredge fillets, turning to coat; shake off excess.

In large skillet, heat butter and oil over medium-high heat; fry fillets, in batches if necessary, until golden and fish flakes easily when tested, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to platter; keep warm. Wipe out skillet.

Brown Butter: In same skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat; cook shallot, parsley, capers and salt just until butter starts to turn brown.

Add wine; cook until almost no liquid remains. Add asparagus; heat through. Serve with fish.
