Ingredients
  • 2 x 900g sea breams, gutted and scaled
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt flakes to season
  • 2 bunches of green asparagus, peeled and tough stalk removed

FOR THE WILD GARLIC ALIOLI

  • 1 bunch wild garlic
  • 1 tsp English mustard
  • 20ml water
  • A pinch of white pepper powder
  • 2 lime, 1 grated and 1 juiced
  • 100ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 100ml sunflower oil
  • A pinch of salt
Method
  1. Blend the wild garlic with the olive oil until it has formed a puree. Strain the oil from the green paste and set the oil aside. 
  2. Place the wild garlic paste in a pint-size glass or similar container together with the English mustard, water, lime juice, a pinch of salt and white pepper powder and start blending while pouring the green oil (keep 2 tbsp aside to finish the dish) and the sunflower oil in a thin stream until fully combined. The texture should be like double cream.
  3. Peel the asparagus and wash them. Place over the grill on medium heat and cook for 4 minutes so they steam briefly with the residual water from washing them. Brush some oil over them, season with salt flakes and let them continue to grill for a further 3 minutes, depending on their thickness.
  4. Fillet the sea breams, season with salt, brush with olive oil and grill over medium heat skin side down for about 7 minutes or until ready.
  5. Plate up by pouring a generous spoonful of the wild garlic alioli as a base on the plate. Place the sea bream over it with the asparagus on top. Drizzle with the reserved green oil and enjoy!
