They keep on telling us 1st of September is not the first day of Spring...the 21st is that magic day. So bearing this fact in mind, coupled with my lack of cooking for 6 days, this is our first spring dinner.
I was excited to see loads of asparagus in the supermarket, all looking fresh, great and at a really good price. I bought 3 bunches.So excited.
I combined it with new potatoes, fresh snapper and cherry tomatoes.
We loved it.
Blanch the asparagus in salted boiling water... about 2 minutes, quickly cool it and set aside.
Cut 6 cherry tomatoes in half set aside
Put the new potatoes on. They only take about 12 minutes in boiling salted water, drain and toss with a knob of butter and a good grind of black pepper.
The following is still my favourite way of cooking fish. It is so moist and flavourful.
Season the fish with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Place into a medium hot pan, 2 tablespoons of olive oil
Add the filets cook for about 2 minutes
Add a good knob of butter
Swirl around
Turn the fish over
Throw in 1/2 glass white wine.
Turn the heat up till the wine comes to the boil, should only take seconds
Turn the heat off, cover and leave about another 2 minutes.
The fish should be perfectly cooked
Remove and keep warm
Turn the heat up again and toss the asparagus and tomatoes into the juices
Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Toss around in the juices for another minutes or so
Serve. Can't get much better than that.
