Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound asparagus, trimmed
1 large boiling potato (about 1 pound)
four 6-ounce red snapper fillets with skin
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste

Steps:

  • Cut tips off 12 asparagus spears and reserve. Cut all spears into 1/2-inch pieces and cook in a saucepan of salted boiling water until tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer cooked asparagus with a slotted spoon to a blender and purée with 1 cup cooking liquid, reserving remaining cooking liquid in pan. Keep purée warm in a small saucepan.
  • Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. Return reserved cooking liquid to a boil and blanch reserved asparagus tips until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain tips and immediately transfer to ice water to stop cooking. Drain tips and reserve for garnish.
  • Scrub potato and cut lengthwise into four 1/2-inch-thick slices. In saucepan cook potato slices in salted boiling water to cover until tender, about 5 minutes, and transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Keep potatoes warm, covered.
  • Pat snapper dry and season with salt and pepper. In a large non-stick skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook fish, skin sides down, about 3 minutes, or until skin is golden brown. Turn fish over and cook 2 minutes more, or until just cooked through.
  • Whisk lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste into asparagus purée. Spoon some sauce onto 4 plates and top each portion with a potato slice and a fish fillet. Garnish fish with asparagus tips and serve remaining sauce on side.

This recipe was a bit bland. I think it would have been better with some added herbs or spices.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The red snapper was mild and flaky, and the lemon asparagus puree was a great way to add flavor. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe is a keeper! The red snapper was cooked perfectly and the lemon asparagus puree was amazing. I served it with roasted potatoes and a side salad, and it was a complete meal.

The red snapper was a bit overcooked, but the lemon asparagus puree was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the fish for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a milder lemon sauce.
