Vegetables

  • 1 cup diced leeks (white and light green parts only), rinsed very well

  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes, plus more to taste

  • Kosher salt

  • 1 cup thinly sliced asparagus (about 1/2 pound)

  • 1 cup fresh peas, blanched if very large

  • 1 lemon, four very thin slices taken from it, and those slices cut into quarters

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste


DIRECTIONS


For the glaze:

  1. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir well to combine.


For the branzino:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

  2. Place fish, skin side-down, on each cedar plank and brush liberally with the glaze, if using. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle lightly with olive oil.

  3. Place in the oven and bake for 8-12 minutes.


For the vegetables:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.

  2. Add the leeks and the pepper flakes and season with a little salt.

  3. Cook, stirring, until the leeks are tender and a bit browned, 8-10 minutes.

  4. Add the asparagus and peas, and cook, tossing the mixture together, until the asparagus is crisp-tender, 3-4 minutes.

  5. Add the sliced lemon and cook, stirring occasionally, until the lemon has wilted, about 2 minutes.

  6. Add the tarragon, stir to combine well, and remove the vegetables from heat.

  7. Squeeze a little lemon juice from the remaining lemon over all.

  8. Taste and season with addition salt, if needed, and a little and black pepper.


To serve:

  1. Spoon the vegetables over the fish and serve on the cedar planks.
