GRILLED SNAPPER AND ASPARAGUS WITH RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, garlic, shallot, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the bell pepper is tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan; cook until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes; discard the thyme. Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree; season with salt and pepper and add up to 1 more teaspoon vinegar, if needed.
• Preheat a grill to high and generously oil the grates. Rub the fish with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Rub the asparagus with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fish skin-side down until the skin is marked and crisp, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip and grill until just cooked through, 1 to 2 more minutes. Grill the asparagus, turning occasionally, until charred in spots, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Spoon the pepper sauce onto plates. Top with the fish and asparagus; sprinkle with the parsley.

RED SNAPPER WITH LEMON BEURRE BLANC & ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil & prepare a bowl of ice water. Cut the bottom inch off the asparagus. Cook the asparagus in the boiling water for 3 minutes and then transfer to the ice water.
• In a small sauce pot, combine the white wine, shallots, black peppercorns and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let simmer and reduce until only 2 tablespoons of liquid remain. Strain, discard the shallots and peppercorns and return the reduction to the stove on minimum heat. Whisk in 120g of cold butter, one cube at a time, whisking constantly. Wait until the last cube is fully incorporated before adding the next. Do not let the sauce get too hot or it will separate. If the butter starts melting too quickly, remove from heat and whisk for 2 minutes before continuing to add the butter. When all the butter is incorporated, season with salt and keep in a warm place.
• Season the snapper fillets with salt & pepper. Heat 1 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick frying pan and add the snapper fillets skin side down. Gently press down each fillet with a spatula to prevent curling. Sear on medium heat for 6 minutes, then turn the fillets and cook for one more minute.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a frying pan and sautee the asparagus until warmed through, about 3 minutes.
• To serve: Divide the asparagus among 4 plates and then spoon the beurre blanc over the asparagus. Place one fillet of snapper in the center of each plate.

SAUTéED SCALLOPS WITH ASPARAGUS PURéE

Steps:

• Asparagus: Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Salt the water generously (make it as salty as seawater). Trim the woody ends from asparagus and discard; then submerge asparagus in the boiling water. Cover with lid just until the water comes back to a boil, then uncover and cook until al dente (tender but with just a little crunch), 3-4 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice water.
• Asparagus are done when they bend without snapping. Use a spider strainer to transfer them to the ice bath; submerge and stir to immediately stop the cooking. Reserve cooking water (to thin purée). Cut asparagus tips and reserve for garnish. Cut stalks into 2-inch pieces and set aside.
• Place asparagus stalks in the blender and cover with lid; pulse a few times. Remove the smaller cap in the lid and turn blender to medium speed. Ladle in a slow stream of cooking water (about ½ cup) to help the asparagus purée. Use caution, as the water and purée are hot! Replace the cap, then purée on high speed. When the purée is smooth, strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl to remove any fibrous strands. Salt the purée to taste and set aside.
• Scallops: Place scallops on paper towels in an even layer and pat dry; this is an important step to get a nice sear. Pull off and discard any tough side-muscles (their fibers run against the grain of the rest of the scallop). Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, then add oil. (Add more as needed to coat the bottom of the skillet.) When the oil begins to ripple, add scallops in an even layer without crowding. Let cook undisturbed, 60-90 seconds. Scallops are ready to flip when they are evenly caramelized and no longer stick to the skillet. Before flipping, sprinkle with sea salt. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the asparagus purée.
• When scallops are golden brown on the first side, they should release easily from the skillet. Using a small offset spatula, flip each scallop to sear the second side; continue sautéing, 30-45 more seconds, depending on size. Remove scallops to a paper towel-lined plate and let rest while finishing the sauce.
• Add half of the asparagus tips to the warmed purée. Add butter, then swirl the saucepan continuously until all the butter has melted and emulsified into the purée to make a rich sauce.
• Immediately before serving, add the lemon juice to the asparagus sauce and stir to combine; taste and adjust seasoning. Divide the sauce among plates or large bowls, then place the scallops on the sauce. Garnish with remaining asparagus tips and serve immediately.
