A vibrant, nutrient-dense symphony of wild sea bass and sweet spring peas, elevated by the bright acidity of yuzu and the nutty texture of toasted hemp seeds.

Ingredients

2 (6oz) wild sea bass fillets, skin-on
1.5 cups fresh English peas, blanched
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, packed
1 tablespoon fresh yuzu juice (or Meyer lemon juice)
1 small shallot, finely minced
1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
4 large asparagus spears, shaved into ribbons
1 tablespoon toasted hemp hearts
2 tablespoons high-quality extra virgin olive oil
Pinch of Fleur de Sel and cracked white pepper

Cooking Instructions

  1. 01

    To make the velouté: Sauté the minced shallot in 1 teaspoon of olive oil until translucent. Add the blanched peas and vegetable broth. Simmer for 3 minutes.

  2. 02

    Transfer the pea mixture to a high-speed blender with the mint leaves and yuzu juice. Blend until silky smooth. Season with a pinch of white pepper and keep warm.

  3. 03

    Pat the sea bass fillets extremely dry with paper towels. Season the skin side with a tiny pinch of salt.

  4. 04

    Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat with the remaining olive oil. Place the fish skin-side down and press gently with a spatula for 30 seconds to ensure even contact.

  5. 05

    Sear the fish for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp. Flip and cook for 1 additional minute until just opaque throughout.

  6. 06

    Toss the shaved asparagus ribbons with a drop of yuzu juice and olive oil.

  7. 07

    To plate: Pour a pool of the emerald pea velouté into the center of two shallow bowls. Place the sea bass on top, skin-side up. Garnish with the asparagus ribbons and a sprinkle of toasted hemp hearts.

Review

The Caprese Salad Skewers recipe was a triumph! I prepared them for a party's barbecue and everyone loved them. The basil was so aromatic, the mozzarella so fresh, and the skewers were the perfect size and an appropriate.
