Ingredients:

Serving

11/2 lb sea bass fillet, about 1 inch thick, cut into 4pieces
olive oil
basil
salt and pepper
ratatouille jus
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 red peppers, cored and thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2 small zucchini, cut in half and thinly sliced
2 small yellow squash, cut in half and thinly sliced
olive oil
red wine vinegar
tabasco .
salt and pepper
roasted lemon asparagus
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
12 asparagus spears, peeled and trimmed
salt and pepper

Directions:

For the Ratatouille Jus
Add olive oil to a sauté pan over medium heat. Add all the sliced vegetables and garlic.
Cook for 3-5 minutes – do not brown. Add salt and pepper.
At this point, I generally pull out about 3 slices of zucchini, 3 slices of yellow squash, and 4 slices of red pepper. I will keep these vegetables cool until I am ready to plate the fish. Then I finely dice the reserved vegetables and use them as a garnish just before serving. This is entirely up to you, but it does make a much better presentation, and adds a bit of crunch.
Reduce heat and cook remaining vegetables slowly for 1 hour. Add a touch of water if necessary (though I've never felt the need to add any water).
Place cooked vegetables in a blender with a touch of water at the bottom of blender.
Blend, adjust seasoning, and allow to cool.
Once the mixture has cooled, add a touch vinegar and Tabasco and check seasoning again. The sauce should have a nice consistency, not too thick and not runny.
For the Roasted Asparagus
Preheat oven to 450° F.
Mix lemon juice, oil, and lemon zest in a small bowl.
Place asparagus in a larger bowl and pour in sauce. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss.
Place asparagus on a baking sheet.
Roast asparagus until crisp-tender, turning occasionally, about 8 to 12 minutes.
To Serve:
Brush fish with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a skillet, add fish fillets carefully, and sauté 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping very gently after the first 3-4 minutes (being careful not to break up the fillets).
Squeeze lemon juice over fish.
Pour a small amount of ratatouille jus on the plate to form a circle, lay one fish fillet on top of the jus, and arrange asparagus. If you like, spoon a bit more ratatouille jus over the fish before arranging the asparagus.
Garnish with basil leaves and (if you've reserved any of the vegetables) a bit of the finely diced squash, zucchini, and red pepper.
