Seasonal Market Catch on arugula salad with white asparagus and a tomato-pineapple marmelade

  Ingredients Yields: 4 servings
 
For the Tomato-Pineapple Marmalade:

1 cup 1/4-inch-dice fresh pineapple
1 cup roma tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
½ cup rice wine vinegar
3 tbsp granulated sugar
Salt to taste
Stir all ingredients together except the tomatoes and cilantro. Heat on stove until sugar is dissolved. Finish with tomatoes and season with salt, to taste.

For the salad:
Toss one pound of Baby arugula in a bowl and add grape seed oil until coated. Season with salt and pepper and place a good amount in center of plate.

For the Market Catch- usually better with a sweet-flakey white fish (Chilean Sea bass, halibut or tile fish)

Chilean Seabass:
4 (8-ounce) fillets of seabass, scaled, skin on
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
kosher salt and white pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Season filets with salt and cayenne pepper. Place a medium sauté pan over high heat with two tbsp of olive oil. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the fish, skin side down for 2 minutes on medium heat. Transfer to the oven and bake until done, about 5 to 6 minutes. Do not turn the fish to ensure a crispy skin.
