Prep Time 10 minutes
Cooking Time 30 minutes
Serves Four
Ingredients
4 Jersey sea bass fillets (ask your fishmonger for around 200g portions)
220g Jersey Royal potatoes, cleaned and cooked
12 pieces of Jersey asparagus
30g extra fine capers
1 small bunch of fresh picked mint
1 small bunch of fresh picked tarragon
30ml of good white wine vinegar
50ml good extra virgin olive oil
4 small vines of Jersey cherry
tomatoes
Method
1 Pre-heat oven to 160 degrees. Place the tomatoes on a baking tray with the 2 pieces of garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and slow roast in oven until the tomatoes are soft but still whole.
2 Soak the capers in water for 10 minutes, drain and set aside.
3 Put the potatoes in cold salted water, bring to the boil and simmer until nicely cooked. Drain off liquid, put back in the saucepan with a knob of butter, capers, tarragon, mint and vinegar. Crush the mix gently, add in your salt and pepper, pop the lid on and set to one side.
4 Rinse the asparagus in cold water and remove the woody stem at roughly 1 inch. Char-grill the asparagus until ‘al dente’, then season and set to one side.
5 Add a teaspoon of oil to a non-stick frying pan. When hot, add 4 fillets of lightly seasoned sea bass (skin side down), sauté on both side for 2-3 minutes, remove from pan and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the sea bass.
6 Prepare four plates and divide the crushed potatoes into equal portion. Please 1 sea bass fillet on top of the crushed potatoes and finish with 3 pieces of asparagus and a vine of tomatoes.
