Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lay 4 large (18" x 12") pieces of aluminum foil on the kitchen counter and fold each into thirds. Place a fish fillet in the center third of each piece, then scatter the asparagus, mushrooms, and ginger over each. Drizzle with the soy sauce and mirin and season with a small pinch of salt (remember, soy sauce already packs plenty of sodium) and black pepper. Fold the outer two sections of the foil over the fish, then roll up the ends toward the center to create fully sealed packets. Arrange the packets on a large baking sheet and bake for 15 for 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish fillet. (If the fillets are 1⁄2 inch thick or less, it will take closer to 15 minutes; if they are almost a full inch, it will need 20 minutes.) Place each packet directly on a plate and serve.

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:
- 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.

PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY GARLIC
Before asparagus got moved to its own botanical family, Asparagaceae, in the early 2000s, it was part of the lily family along with onions, chives, shallots and garlic. It makes sense then, that asparagus and garlic make such a good duo. When cooked with care, both can be mild and sweet (or pungent and bitter when cooked carelessly). To highlight the best of both ingredients, gently fry garlic into chips for a crispy topping, then use the lightly infused oil to sauté the asparagus. Both thin and chubby spears work, as would nearly any other vegetable you like with garlic: broccoli, kale, snap peas, fennel and more.

Steps:
- Place a paper towel-lined plate next to the stove. In a medium or large skillet, combine the garlic and olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook, shaking the skillet often, until the garlic is very light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, tilt it, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to the towel-lined plate, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet. Season the crispy garlic with salt.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook, shaking often, until bright green, crisp-tender and browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide onto a platter, including any oil in the skillet. Top with the garlic chips and season again with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose firm, fresh sea bass fillets with a slight briny aroma. Avoid fillets that have any discoloration or a slimy texture.
- To achieve a crispy skin, ensure that the sea bass fillets are completely dry before searing. Pat them dry with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper.
- Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or a non-stick pan for searing the sea bass. Heat the pan over medium-high heat and add a thin layer of olive oil.
- Sear the sea bass fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the skin becomes golden brown and crispy. Avoid flipping the fillets too often, as this can break the skin.
- Once the sea bass is cooked, transfer it to a warm plate and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful fish.
- Serve the sea bass with the asparagus, mushrooms, and lemon wedges. You can also add a dollop of tartar sauce or a drizzle of melted butter for extra flavor.

Pan-seared sea bass with asparagus and mushrooms is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner.
