SOLE WITH RAMPS, ASPARAGUS AND ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until almost tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, place in a baking dish and toss with 1 teaspoon of butter. Roast until brown and crisp, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large, wide pot over medium heat. Add the ramps and cook until just wilted, about 4 minutes. Add the wine and water, cover with parchment paper, lower the heat and braise until tender, about 25 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Blanch the asparagus in boiling, salted water for 5 minutes. Drain. Combine the flour, cornmeal, 2 teaspoons of salt and pepper in a wide, shallow dish. Coat the sole in the mixture on both sides. Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sole and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the sole from the pan and keep warm.
• Wipe out the pan and add the remaining teaspoon of oil. When hot, add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the escarole and stir-fry until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Wipe out the pan again and add 1 teaspoon of butter. Add the asparagus and cook 3 minutes.
• Toss the potatoes with 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper and parsley. Place 1 sole fillet in the center of each of 4 plates. Mound the ramps, potatoes and escarole around the fish and cross the asparagus over the sole. Serve immediately.
