Serving size:

Ingredients

None
Fish
1 Tbsp. olive oil
4 Tbsp. Reduced Balsamic Drizzle 
2 cups Sweet Potato Mash (recipe below)
12 Asparagus spears, cooked
1/3 cup Cucumber Jalapeño Slaw (recipe below)
4 Fresh Cilantro sprigs
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1 lime, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. chopped chives
Parsley

Sweet Potato Mash 2 quarts water, hot 1 Tbsp. salt 4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled, 2" dice ¾ cup milk 2 oz butter, ½" dice ¼ tsp white pepper 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp kosher salt ¼ cup brown sugar
Cucumber Jalapeño Slaw 1 lb. salad cucumbers, peeled, seeded and sliced 1 Red Pepper, sliced 1 Yellow Pepper, sliced 2 Jalapeño Peppers, seeded and cored, cut into 1/8 " rings 1 small Red Onion, sliced and separated into rings ½ cup Rice Vinegar 1 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil ¼ tsp Kosher salt ½ tsp Creole Seasoning ¼ tsp Cumin, fresh ground ½ oz. Fresh Cilantro, chopped ½ tsp Habanero or favorite Hot Sauce

PROCEDURES

  1. Heat oil in nonstick pan to high heat. Season fish with Creole seasoning blend and place in hot sauté pan, cooking for 2-3 minutes until it has a seared color. Flip the fish over and finish cooking until done or until at 145°F.
  2. Make 5-6 zig-zags with the reduced balsamic drizzle* on each of four plates. Place the hot sweet potato mash in the center of plate and place 3 spears of asparagus radiating out from mash to the side. Place the fish on top of the sweet potatoes, top the fish with the cucumber-jalapeño slaw, and lay a cilantro sprig atop the slaw.
  3. Garnish each plate with a lemon and lime slice and sprinkle with chopped chives.

* Gently heat balsamic vinegar in pot, reducing to 1/6th of original volume; funnel into a squeeze bottle. Refrigerate.


Sweet Potato Mash

  1. Place the peeled and diced sweet potatoes in a 6 quart pot. Add hot water and salt, then place the stockpot on the stove over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 35 minutes or until an inserted fork in the sweet potatoes pierces easily.
  2. Heat the milk, butter, white pepper and cinnamon in a small stockpot until warm, then set aside for step 3.
  3. Drain the water from the sweet potatoes and transfer them into a mixing bowl. Using a wire whisk, mash until sweet potatoes are broken up. Add the warm seasoned milk and spices, mix again until the sweet potatoes are smooth - being careful not to over-mix. If needed, season with additional salt to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy!

 


Cucumber Jalapeño Slaw

  1. Place the sliced cucumbers, red and yellow bell peppers, jalapeño and red onions in a stainless mixing bowl.
  2. Combine the remaining ingredients in a small mixing bowl and mix with a wire whip until evenly blended. Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss until evenly blended. Adjust seasoning with additional kosher salt, if desired.
  3. Chill for at least 4 hours before using.
