Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bass fillets (skin-on, if preferred)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger (finely grated)
• 4 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 pound Asparagus (trimmed)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 piece Lemon (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the broiler in your oven to high heat.

Step 2

Pat the bass fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the fillets on a lightly oiled broiler-safe baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable. Brush the top of the fillets with sesame oil. Set aside.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the grated ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the sliced green onions and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the soy sauce. Set the ginger scallion oil aside.

Step 6

Place the prepared bass fillets under the broiler and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the oven and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

Step 7

While the fish is broiling, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the trimmed asparagus. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the asparagus and stir to combine. Remove from heat.

Step 10

To serve, plate each broiled bass fillet and spoon the ginger scallion oil generously over the top. Serve alongside stir-fried asparagus, and garnish with lemon wedges if desired.
