PAN ROASTED WHOLE BASS WITH TOASTED PAPRIKA ORANGE VINAIGRETTE WITH ROASTED BEETS, GOAT CHEESE AND LEMON-TARRAGON
Steps:
- Place paprika, reduced orange juice, vinegar and mustard in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Brush fish with olive oil on both sides and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in 2 medium saute pans over high heat. Saute each fish on one side until lightly golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn over and place in the oven and continue cooking for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and serve each person 1 whole fish drizzled with vinaigrette.
- Preheat oven 400 degrees F. Rub beets with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and wrap separately in aluminum foil. Place beets on a baking sheet and let roast for 1 hour or until tender. Remove from foil and let cool slightly. Peel and cut into 1-inch dice. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, tarragon, and honey and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
- Spread walnuts onto a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven until the nuts turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 45 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully because they burn quickly. Set walnuts aside to cool to room temperature.
- Turn oven up to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Crinkle up a piece of aluminum foil and place it into an oven-safe dish (such as a pie dish) to act as a disposable rack. Place beet onto foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the beet just starts to turn tender, about 45 minutes. Wrap beet in aluminum foil and let cool to room temperature.
- Turn oven temperature up to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
- Peel beet with a sharp paring knife; peel skin from beet. Cut beet in half and cut halves into thick half-moon-shaped slices.
- Drizzle walnut oil in a baking dish and brush oil over the bottom of the dish; arrange beet slices in the dish in a single layer. Crumble goat cheese into the empty spaces and over beets. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Bake beet and cheese in oven until beet pieces are sizzling and the edges of the cheese are slightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Drizzle warm beet and cheese with vinegar and top with roasted walnuts, beet greens, and chives. Serve warm.

ROASTED RED BEET AND GOAT CHEESE TERRINE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wrap beets in heavy foil. Roast until easily pierced with a knife, about 2 hours. Cool, then rub off skins with paper towel.
- Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice beets as thin as possible. Line an 11-by-3 1/2-by-3-inch terrine with plastic wrap. Line bottom and sides with beet slices, overlapping slightly.
- Melt goat cheese in double boiler or bowl set over simmering water. Transfer to food processor, and add thyme, rosemary, truffle oil and salt and pepper to taste. Process until smooth.
- Place goat cheese in a pastry bag without a tip (or use two large spoons), and pipe into mold. Smooth mixture, and top with layer of beet slices. Press gently on top to flatten and compress. Trim any slices that extend above top, to make neat edge. Cover, and refrigerate at least 2 hours, up to two days.
- To serve, invert chilled terrine onto a plate and remove plastic wrap. Cut terrine into 16 slices, and allow to come to room temperature. Place two slices on each of eight serving plates, accompanied by a mache salad if desired.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Beets: Select beets that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises. Try to find beets that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Roast the Beets Properly: To get perfectly roasted beets, make sure to preheat your oven to the right temperature and cook the beets for the recommended amount of time. Overcooking can make the beets dry and tough.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like tarragon and chives add a pop of flavor to the lemon-tarragon vinaigrette. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful.
- Don't Overdress the Beets: A little bit of vinaigrette goes a long way. Drizzle just enough vinaigrette over the beets to coat them lightly. You can always add more vinaigrette if needed.
- Serve Immediately: Roasted beets are best served warm. If you're making the beets ahead of time, reheat them gently before serving.
