Meanwhile, arrange the asparagus spears on the baking tray, brush lightly with olive oil and season with pepper. Rinse the fish and pat dry. Lay on top of the asparagus. Mix the cheese and chives with the oatmeal and spoon on top of the fish to make a crust. Melt the butter and drizzle over the top. Bake for 10 minutes.
