Ingredients

Olive oil
2 small red mullet or snapper fillets, scaled and pin-boned
1 royal porgy fillet or sea bass fillet, scaled, pin-boned and cut in 1/2
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 small squid, gutted and cleaned, tentacles trimmed and reserved
2 to 4 freshly shelled scallops, cleaned and scored in a crisscross fashion
10 medium asparagus spears, woody ends removed
1 small handful thyme tips
1 fresh red chile, deseeded and chopped
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
1 small handful fennel tops

Directions

Get a really large frying pan, or 2 smaller ones, on the heat and add a glug of olive oil. Score the skin of your fish fillets all over, about 1/2-inch deep, and season. Put the fish fillets into the pan, skin side down, with the squid tentacles. Add the scallops. Run your knife down 1 side of each squid to open them out, then quickly and lightly score the inside in a crisscross fashion. Lay them in the pan, scored side down. Add the asparagus and gently shake the pan. Cook for a few minutes, then turn everything over and cook on the other side. Sprinkle over the thyme tips.

You're the one in control of the pan, so if something looks cooked, take it out and keep it warm. Don't watch things burn! When the fish has crispy skin, the scallops are golden brown with caramelized edges and the squid has curled up and is nicely charred, remove the pan from the heat. Put the squid on a chopping board and roughly slice it into pieces at an angle, then return to the pan. Lay the fish fillets on each plate. Toss the asparagus, scallops and squid with half the chile, a good drizzle of good quality extra-virgin olive oil and the lemon juice. Lightly season and mix together. Divide on top of the plated fish. Sprinkle with the rest of the chopped chile and the fennel tops, and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.

Tasty
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This meal tastes even better the next day. I had to use orange roughy (delicious), snapper (too boney), shrimp and baby... scallops. Also used dill since I didn't have the fennel and red chili. I Served with a side of roasted garlic mashed potatoes. Delicious and impressive.Read more

AWESOME!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Everything Jamie makes is totally killer! It's light, and perfect for a weeknight meal in Spring. I totally agree with the... other poster, if you haven't tried it and you're leaving negative comments you are indeed an idiot.Read more

Great
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a wonderful! The blend of fish can be modified to what is fresh and it will work for everything. I did this on a... grill and it was great the light smoke flavor was a real plus. The asparagus added a wonderful earth to balance the citrus and the peppers added the little bite on the end. Great!! A note to the idiots if you have not tried something do not review it.Read more
