Shaved Honey Garlic Carrots and Asparagus

  • Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the carrot and discard. Continue peeling the carrot into strips. Trim the asparagus spears, removing about 1inch of the woody stems from the bottom.
  • Heat the griddle to medium heat. Keeping them separated, add the carrots and asparagus to the griddle. Squirt both with some water. Sauté for 1 minute.
  • Sprinkle garlic and pepper flakes over the vegetables, and squirt with oil. Sauté for 1minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a squirt of honey and toss to coat. Cook for 30 seconds.
  • Remove the carrots to a bowl and set aside. Continue cooking the asparagus for 2-3more minutes, until al dente. Remove to a bowl and set aside.

Seared Sea Bass

  • Pat the fish dry. Season both sides evenly with salt and pepper.
  • Add canola oil to the griddle. Add the sea bass. Sear for 4 minutes, pressing down occasionally with a spatula.
  • Flip. Continue cooking for 4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145F degrees.

Citrus Mint Vinaigrette

  • Whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients.

To Assemble

  • Place a few asparagus spears in the center of the plate. Top with a piece of seared sea bass. Top with a pile of shaved carrots. Drizzle with vinaigrette.
