Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 scallions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
Pinch of crushed red pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Four 5-ounce skinless striped bass fillets (about 1 inch thick)
Stir fried asparagus:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound thin asparagus, cut into 1/3-inch lengths
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the asparagus and stir-fry over moderately high heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, sesame oil and lemon zest, season with salt and pepper and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

In a bowl, combine the scallions, ginger, garlic and red pepper. In a saucepan, heat the oil until shimmering. Pour the hot oil over the scallion mixture and stir in the lemon juice, soy sauce and salt. Preheat the broiler. Brush the fillets on both sides with some of the scallion oil. Arrange on a broiler pan skinned side down; broil until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the fillets to plates; spoon some scallion oil on top. Serve with the Stir-Fried Asparagus.
