FLOUNDER SAUTE WITH ASPARAGUS AND CRAB VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Bring a medium-size pot of water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch until tender, but not soft, about 3 minutes. Drain and place under cold running water until cool. In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the lime juice and 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Toss in the asparagus and crab meat and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Place the flour on a plate and season to taste with salt and pepper. Lightly dust the flounder on both sides with the seasoned flour. Heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over high heat. Place the flounder in the pan and saute on one side for about 90 seconds. Turn the fish over and immediately divide the asparagus and crab mixture evenly among each fillet, spooning the mixture into a mound. Remove from the heat. Cover the pan and let stand for 1 minute. Divide among 4 plates and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and place a sheet pan in the oven.
• Dry the fish on both sides with paper towels. Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper on a dinner plate. In a low, shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with 1 tablespoon water. Put the bread crumbs on another plate. Dredge the fish on both sides in the seasoned flour and dust off the excess. Dip both sides into the egg mixture and, finally, dredge both sides in the bread crumbs.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and cook 2 fillets at a time over medium to medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Transfer the fish in one layer to the sheet pan in the oven. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the fillets, transferring them to the sheet pan as they're done. Toss the arugula with enough Lemon Vinaigrette to moisten. Place one fillet on each plate and pile the arugula salad on top. Heat the capers in the saute pan for 30 seconds and sprinkle over the fish and salad. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan, a squeeze of lemon juice, and the fleur de sel. Serve hot.

ASPARAGUS WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of each asparagus spear. If using large thick asparagus, peel the lower ends with a vegetable peeler. Medium asparagus will not need peeling.
• Bring a medium saucepan half filled with water to a boil, carefully add the eggs and simmer briskly for 9 minutes (10 minutes for a slightly firmer yolk). Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Shell the eggs and set aside.
• Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, place the shallots, vinegar and a pinch of salt. Let shallots soften for 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard to dissolve, then whisk in the olive oil to make a thick dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• In a large stainless-steel soup pot bring 4 quarts of well-salted water to a rolling boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until just done. Remove asparagus with a large strainer and spread out on a baking sheet lined with a clean kitchen towel. Asparagus may be served warm or at room temperature.
• To serve, place asparagus on a platter or individual plates. Spoon the vinaigrette over the asparagus. Garnish with quartered eggs (or roughly chop the eggs if you prefer). Sprinkle with chives.

• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus, and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring frequently, until asparagus are just tender, 10-12 minutes. (If the spears begin to brown, reduce heat to low.).
• Transfer aspargus to serving dish. Drizzle with the vinaigrette, toss, and serve immediately.

FLOUNDER IN PARCHMENT WITH ASPARAGUS AND SHIITAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Fold two 13-by-19-inch sheets of parchment in half from short ends to create a crease in each; unfold. Place each fillet to one side of a sheet, abuttingcrease; generously season with salt and pepper. Scatter mushrooms, asparagus, and onion evenly around fillets. Drizzle each fillet with 2 tablespoons wine. Scatter butter evenly over fish and vegetables; season with salt and pepper.
• Fold each sheet over fish and vegetables. Starting on one side, roll bottom side of parchmentup and over top side to seal; continue working around until pouch is sealed in a half-moonshape. Transfer both pouches to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Steam-roast until parchment puffs and darkens slightly and fish is just cooked through, 10 to12 minutes. Carefully rip open pouches (scalding steam will be released) and serve.

CRAB STUFFED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rinse the fillets and pat dry with paper towels.
• Combine crab meat, green pepper, mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, white pepper and the crushed saltines. Combine the egg white and 1 tablespoon mayonnaise. Stir this into the crab meat mixture.
• Brush the flounder fillets with melted butter. Place in a lightly greased, shallow baking dish. Spoon the crab mixture over the fillets and drizzle with any remaining butter.
• Bake the fillets at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
• While the fish is baking, lightly beat the egg yolk in a small bowl. Stir in 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Remove fish from oven and spread this mixture over the stuffing; sprinkle with paprika and parsley.
• Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees and bake until golden and bubbly, about 6 minutes.

CRAB SALAD WITH ASPARAGUS, AVOCADO, AND LIME VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: whisk together the lime juice, vinegar, lime zest, ginger, and honey in a bowl; whisk in the oils.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook asparagus until just tender, about 5 minutes.
• As soon as the asparagus are tender, scoop them out of the boiling water and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water.
• When the asparagus are cold, drain and toss them with 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette; set aside.
• Toss the crabmeat with 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette; set aside.
• In a big bowl, toss the Bibb lettuce leaves with 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette.
• Plate the salad: divide the dressed Bibb lettuce leaves among 4 large chilled plates.
• Place an avocado half on top of the lettuce on each plate and drizzle the avocado with a little vinaigrette.
• Arrange a bundle of dressed asparagus next to the avocado half; divide the dressed crabmeat among the plates, draping it over the avocado and asparagus.
• Garnish with the grapefruit sections and serve.
• Serving suggestions: because the texture of this salad is soft, serve with crisp crackers or toasted bruschetta; also good beverage choice would be a Mimosa-orange juice and champagne.
