Sea Bass with Carrot Ginger Puree and Fava Beans
I love the Carrot Ginger dressing you get on salads at Japanese restaurants so I used that as the inspiration for the puree, and I threw in the edamame just for fun I love edamame To give the fish an Asian flare without overpowering its awesome flavor, I sauteed it in sesame oil instead of canola oil. I must say, the hit of the show was the Carrot Ginger Puree a Sara original.

Step-by-step
- First make your puree. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Peel your carrots and cut into 1 inch pieces.
- Use about 1/4 of an onion, leave it whole, don't chop it. Toss the carrots and the onion in Olive Oil and Salt.
- Place on a silpat lined baking sheet and cook for 35 minutes - shaking the pan halfway through. Once they're tender enough to be poked with a paring knife easily, they're done.
- Place the carrots and onion in a blender/Vitamix.
- Add to the blender your ginger powder, heavy cream, tahini, cumin powder, and a pinch of cayenne. Process until it's completely smooth - about 1 minute.
- Taste and season with salt - process again for 10 more seconds. Pass the contents of the blender through a fine mesh strainer to remove any grittiness.
- When ready to serve the puree, place in a small pot and heat up over a medium flame on the stove.
- For the fish: Heat up a medium sized saute pan - add your Canola Oil.
- Once hot, season your fish on both sides with salt. Add the fish, skin side down to the pan and cook about 2-3 minutes until your fish is halfway cooked.
- Flip the fish over and cook til it's cooked through.
- Plate the Carrot Puree, place the fish on top.
- In the same pan you were sauteing your fish, dump out any excess oil.
- Place your butter in the pan and cook until it starts to brown slightly.
- Add in your lemon juice, swirl around the pan for 5 seconds, then ladle over the fish.
- Finish the plate with some de-shelled broad beans and top the fish with a mix of thin sliced nori and pea shoots.
