  1. 1

    Peel the green asparagus and blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain.

  2. 2

    In a hot frying pan, add a little olive oil and season with black pepper. Add the asparagus and pan-fry until tender. Set aside.

  3. 3

    For the sauce, separate one egg yolk into a measuring cup. Add 1 tbsp miso paste, 1 tsp lemon juice, and 100 ml white wine. Whisk to combine.

  4. 4

    While whisking, slowly drizzle in 1 tbsp olive oil until the sauce thickens and emulsifies.

  5. 5

    Season the red fish fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan with the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat.

  6. 6

    Pan-fry the fish fillets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish.

  7. 7

    Plate the fish and asparagus. Spoon the miso-lemon sauce over the top and serve immediately.
