TOASTER OVEN ROASTED SEA BASS

Prep time: 5 minutes. Cooking time: 12 minutes. Serves: 2
2 (6 oz) Sea Bass fillets
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1-1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cilantro
1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
1 tbsp chopped shallots
5 tbsp olive oil, divided
Sea Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Mix lime juice, soy sauce, cilantro, ginger, shallots and 3 tbsp of the olive oil to create sauce, set aside. Brush 9” glass baking dish with the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil. Place Sea Bass in glass dish, coat on both sides with the olive oil, Season Sea Bass with salt and pepper. Spoon 1/2 tbsp of sauce on each portion of Sea Bass. Roast at 500 degrees F for 12 minutes or until opaque. Top with remaining sauce before serving.

TOASTER OVEN ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Prep time: 5 minutes. Cooking time: 10 minutes. Serves: 2
½ bunch Asparagus
3 tbsp olive oil
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste

Preheat toaster oven to 425ºF. Wash the asparagus thoroughly and break off about an inch of the tough bottom. Dry thoroughly as it is important that there is no water to ‘steam’ it in the oven. Spread out asparagus in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil all over the asparagus and then sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Roast the asparagus for about ten minutes.

Tip:  Important the oven is very hot so the asparagus will brown on the outside, not overcook and when finished have a good bite to it.

5 tsp butter
