Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and arrange the spears on one half of the baking sheet.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil over the asparagus. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds, half the salt, and half the black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, juice of half a lemon, minced garlic, paprika, and remaining olive oil. Mix well to create a marinade.
Place the sole fillets on the other half of the baking sheet. Brush the marinade evenly over each fillet. Sprinkle the remaining salt and black pepper evenly over the fish.
Sprinkle the remaining sesame seeds over both the asparagus and the sole fillets.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the sole flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven, and squeeze the juice of the remaining half lemon over the dish for a bright finish.
Serve the baked sole and roasted asparagus hot with your favorite side dish, such as rice or quinoa, if desired. Enjoy!
