SOLE-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS WITH TANGERINE BEURRE BLANC
Steps:
- Prepare fish:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
- Brush a 13- by 9-inch roasting pan with some of melted butter, then sprinkle shallot and zest in pan.
- Trim asparagus to about 7 inches long, then peel spears starting from 2 inches below tip of each.
- Arrange fish fillets, skinned sides up, on a work surface and season with salt and pepper. Lay 5 or 6 asparagus perpendicularly across 1 fillet and wrap fish around them to make a bundle. Repeat with remaining fillets and asparagus. Transfer bundles, seam sides down, to roasting pan and brush fish with remaining melted butter. Season with salt and pepper, then add water to pan. Cover pan tightly with foil and bake until fish is just cooked through and asparagus is crisp-tender, about 20 minutes.
- Make beurre blanc while fish bakes:
- Boil tangerine juice with shallot in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until reduced to about 2 tablespoons, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to moderately low, then whisk in 1 tablespoon butter, whisking constantly. Add remaining butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly, adding each piece before previous one has completely melted, and lifting pan from heat occasionally to cool mixture. Remove from heat and stir in salt, cayenne, and lemon juice.
- Transfer fish with a slotted spatula to a platter and reserve pan juices. Cover fish with foil. Discard zest, then pour pan juices into a 10-inch skillet and boil over moderately high heat until reduced to about 2 tablespoons, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk into beurre blanc.
- Blot any liquid accumulated on platter with paper towels, then spoon sauce over fish.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a better flavor. To check if an avocado is ripe, gently press it. If it yields to gentle pressure, it is ripe.
- Use fresh asparagus: Fresh asparagus is crisp and tender. Look for asparagus that is bright green and has tightly closed tips.
- Blanch the asparagus: Blanching the asparagus helps to preserve its color and crispness. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender. Immediately remove the asparagus from the boiling water and place it in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of fillings: In addition to avocado and asparagus, you can also add other fillings to your wraps, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu. You can also add your favorite vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, or red onions.
- Use a flavorful dressing: A flavorful dressing will help to enhance the flavors of the wraps. You can use a variety of dressings, such as a vinaigrette, a ranch dressing, or a creamy avocado dressing.
Conclusion:
Asparagus and avocado wraps are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a variety of fillings and dressings to choose from, you can create a wrap that is sure to please everyone.
