1 large onion, 1/2-inch slices
1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh-cracked black pepper
2 bottles Madfish Bay Chardonnay

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
1 cup orange juice
Zest of 1 orange

Steps:

Make the vinaigrette by mixing all ingredients but the oil; then drizzle oil in while whisking briskly. Reserve. While a large pot of water starts to boil, salt and pepper grouper fillets, coat with 1/2 of the vinaigrette and let sit for 5 minutes. Blanch asparagus for 2 minutes; toss with olive oil, sea salt and fresh-cracked pepper. Grill for 3 minutes. Grill carrot, mushroom and onion slices about 5 minutes. Grill fillets for 3 minutes on each side; the flesh will flake when ready. Layer vegetables on plates, place hot fillets on top and drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette. Call your guests to the table, refresh their glasses, put on your favorite asparagus music and enjoy a delicious grouper and asparagus salad.
