Pan Grilled Dory Fillet with Baby Asparagus finished in Broccoli honey sauce



I love fish or any type of fish for that matter. They are easy to cook and have their own distinct flavors too ! All you need is to cook it with a sauce and that's it ! I choose Dory as its usually skinned and debone. It has a nice creamy silky texture and its taste great !



200g Dory Fillet ( please try not to get those that were chilled to a rock )

40g of Broccoli cleaned and blended fine in a food processor ( leave out most of the stem )

150g of Baby Asparagus ( chopped )

1 table spoon of Honey

1 cup of heavy cream

1/2 cup of white wine or apple cider

1 teaspoon of freshly chopped Rose Mary herb or the ones from a herbs bottle.

1 teaspoon of onion salt

4 table spoon of salted butter

1/2 teaspoon of black pepper



Heat up a large grilling pan, add in 1 table spoon of butter and start cooking the baby asparagus in it. Season to taste with the onion salt, black pepper and rose Mary herbs. Just lightly cook it for about 1 minute or so and then set them aside.


Now add in all the butter , add in the pepper , onion salt and the rest of the rose Mary herb over the melted butter. Just sprinkle them over the area on the pan which you will be placing the Dory fillet. Grill the Dory over medium high heat for about 3 minutes on 1 side. Once the first side is ready just season the top side with Onion salt and black pepper before you flip it over and grill for another 3 minutes.


Remove the Dory from the grilling pan and sent it on a large flat serving plate. Arrange the cooked baby asparagus on top of the Dory fillet. Now we move on to the sauce. Using back all the sauce that was left behind on the grilling pan, add in the white wine or apple cider, take a wooden spoon and start gently scrubbing off the sticky chunks of dory fillets that was left on the pan. After that add in the heavy cream and 1/2 table spoon of the blended broccoli. Add onion salt and honey to taste. Once the sauce mixture is reduced and thicken for about 3 to 4 minutes , carefully spoon the sauce around the Dory Fillet and serve immediately. Enjoy !!
