Herb-Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

Directions
Chilean Sea Bass
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees and place parchment paper on a sheet pan.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
- Prepare the zucchini and squash by cutting 1/8-inch slices lengthwise from stem to tip using a mandolin, a wide cheese grater or by hand. Lay slices on a sheet pan and cook for 5 minutes.
- Once the oil is heated, sear sea bass for about 30 seconds, or golden brown, on each side.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Remove sheet pan from oven and wrap vegetable slices around fish with two slices of roasted zucchini north to south, followed by 2 slices of roasted yellow squash east to west. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Return to oven and continue to cook until an internal temp of 145 degrees is reached.
Garnish & Sauce
- Place a small skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
- While the pan is heating, cut tomatoes in half lengthwise from stem to tip.
- Add tomatoes, capers and oregano to the pan, stir gently, then add sherry vinegar to the pan.
- Sauté until fragrant and tomatoes are softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Chive Bundled Asparagus
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place parchment paper on a sheet pan.
- Bring 2 1/2 quarts of water to boil in a large saucepan over high heat.
- Prepare the chives by removing any rough, white-colored ends.
- Prepare asparagus by grabbing each stalk at either end, bending until it snaps. The stalk will naturally snap where it starts to get tough.
- Prepare and peel the carrot using a mandolin, wide opening cheese grater or vegetable spiralizer to carefully slice the carrot lengthwise into ribbons.
- Add vegetables to boiling water, return to boil, and cook until pieces are bright in color and slightly tenderized, 1-3 minutes.
- Fill a large bowl with ice water. Drain vegetables in a colander and transfer immediately to ice water. When pieces no longer feel warm to the touch, drain in the colander again and dry.
- Wrap 5 stalks of asparagus with 4 stalks of chives and 4 carrot ribbons. Place bundles on a sheet pan.
- Drizzle each bundle with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
- Return to oven and cook until tender.
Herb-Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and place parchment paper on a sheet pan.
- Bring 2 1/2 quarts of water to boil in a large pot over high heat. Place potatoes into boiling water and cook until able to pierce potatoes about 1/4 way into the potato with a fork. Potatoes will not be fully cooked.
- Drain in a colander.
- Add herbs to a medium mixing bowl.
- Cut potatoes into quarters, then add to the mixing bowl.
- Add oil to the mixing bowl, then toss all ingredients until thoroughly coated.
- Lay mix out evenly on a sheet pan and salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast for 10 minutes or until potatoes are lightly browned.
