Sea Bass With Asparagus Jersey Royals Recipes

Steps:

• Put the egg yolks in a large bowl with a pinch of salt and the lemon zest and juice. Whisk to combine, then add the garlic and whisk again. Slowly add the oil, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens to a mayonnaise and all the oil is used. Taste and add salt, white pepper and additional lemon juice, if needed. Transfer to a small bowl, cover and chill until required.
• Put the potatoes in a medium-sized pan, cover with lightly salted water, put on the lid and bring to the boil. Remove lid and cook until tender. Drain, toss with a drizzle of oil, set aside and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, cook the asparagus in a large pan of boiling salted water for 3-5 mins until tender. Drain, then drizzle with oil and set aside to keep warm.
• For the sea bass, heat the grill, pour 2 tbsp of the oil into a frying pan set over a medium heat, add the thyme and garlic, and cook for 1-2 mins. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper into the pan, add the fish, skin-side up, cook for 2-3 mins, then remove from the heat. Drizzle with the remaining oil, then cook under the grill for about 4 mins until the skin blisters and the fish is cooked through. Keep the fish warm while you finish the veg.
• Thickly slice the potatoes and arrange a layer in the middle of each of 4 dinner plates. Scatter the asparagus over the potatoes, squeeze over some lemon juice and finish with a grind of black pepper. Top each plate with a fillet of sea bass, finishing with a dollop of mayonnaise and the snipped chives.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Lightly oil a 17- by 12-inch shallow baking pan.
• Whisk together miso, sugar, lemon juice, water, and pepper in a bowl.
• Toss together asparagus, oil, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
• Arrange fish, skin sides down, in baking pan and spread miso mixture evenly on top. Arrange asparagus in 1 layer around fish and broil 5 to 6 inches from heat until fish is just cooked through and asparagus is crisp-tender, 8 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Oil a baking dish.
• Microwave potatoes in a microwave dish on High until just softened, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk olive oil and sherry vinegar together in a bowl. Add smoked paprika and salt; whisk to blend. Stir in onions, red jalapeno, and cooked potatoes. Slide the fish fillets into the mixture, turning and coating them with the vinaigrette. Remove the fish from potato mixture.
• Place potatoes in prepared baking dish. Nestle fish onto potatoes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, a dash of paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil.
• Bake in center of preheated oven until just cooked through and fish flakes easily, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Fill a medium pot with about 4 quarts water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add a generous handful of salt. (The water should taste like sea water.) When the water boils, add the asparagus and cook for 2 minutes. Drain with a slotted spoon or strainer and plunge into the ice bath. Remove to paper towels and pat dry. Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper. Add some oil and bring to lightly smoking, then place the fish in the skillet skin-side down. Cook until the skin is crispy, 6 to 7 minutes, then flip to the other side and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more. (If the skillet is getting too hot, reduce the heat.) Remove from the heat and top the skin side with the chopped herbs and salt.
• Mix the diced tomatoes with the drizzle of honey, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Remove some of the grease from the skillet. Add the shallots, salt and white wine to the skillet and bring to a boil. Add the butter and cook until the sauce thickens, then drop the dried asparagus into the sauce. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Toss to coat the asparagus.
• Place the lemon segments and tomatoes around each of 2 plates. Top with the asparagus, a spoonful of sauce and then the fish (skin-side up). Garnish with additional fresh herbs.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Bring broth to boil in heavy large saucepan. Add asparagus; cover and boil until asparagus is very tender, about 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer asparagus to cutting board; reserve broth. Cut tips from asparagus and reserve. Coarsely chop remaining asparagus; transfer to processor. Add 1/2 cup reserved asparagus cooking broth and olive oil and puree until smooth, adding more cooking broth if sauce is too thick (discard any remaining broth). Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Return to same saucepan.
• Spray baking sheet with vegetable oil spray. Place fish on prepared sheet. Drizzle lemon juice over fish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake fish until just opaque in center, about 10 minutes.
• Rewarm sauce over medium-low heat. Divide sauce among 4 plates. Top with fish. Garnish with reserved asparagus tips and roasted red pepper strips. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Have ready a baking sheet and four sheets of parchment paper, about 15 x 15 inches.
• Pat the fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the shallots and zest and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cut the asparagus in 2-inch sticks and discard the fibrous butt ends (or use them in a soup). Split the sticks in two lengthwise: this will help them to cook more quickly.
• Put one sheet of parchment paper on a work surface in front of you. Fold the sheet in two horizontally and unfold. Line up a quarter of the asparagus sticks side by side an inch below the crease, to form a rectangular shape- make sure you divide the asparagus tips evenly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and top with one fillet. Spread the fish with 1 tablespoon of the creme fraiche, sprinkle with a quarter of the shallot mixture, and a quarter of the toasted almonds.
• Fold the top half of the parchment paper down over the fillet so the two edges meet. Make a thin and tight fold all along the joined edges, and repeat until the fold reaches the fillet. Close both open sides of the papillote by folding them into pointy ends and tucking them underneath the package. Transfer onto the baking sheet with a hard spatula. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Bake for 12 minutes if the fillets are less than an inch thick, 14 minutes for thicker fillets. Transfer the packages cautiously onto serving plates. Scoop rice or potatoes on the side, bring the plates to the table, and snip the papillotes open along the top with scissors or a sharp knife.
