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.

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.
