You will need:
4 sea bream fillets 4 large baking potatoes 125g mushrooms 1 bunch of asparagus 4 slices pancetta bunch chives 125g unsalted butter (diced) half a glass of white wine 100ml vegetable stock
Method Bake the potato, scoop out the flesh and put to one side to cool. Slice and saute the mushrooms, add two cloves of finely chopped garlic, with salt and pepper to taste, then mix together with the mashed potato. Form into four croquttes.
Boil the wine to remove the alcohol and add the vegetable stock and incorporate half the butter. Heat till the butter has melted. Then blitz with the rest of the butter straight from the fridge, add salt, pepper and the chives. Keep this sauce warm.
Brown off croquttes and finish cooking in the oven for up to 15 min, 175C. Before the croquttes are ready, pan fry the pancetta & add peeled asparagus, then keep warm in the oven.
Pan fry the fillet skin side down and cook until the skin is crispy and golden. Turn over and cook for 2-3 min.
Divide all of the ingredients between 4 plates, spoon over the sauce and garnish with sunblush tomatoes or capers & scattered chives
