Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus (if you sharply bend the asparagus near the base, it will snap in the right place). Discard the ends.
- Place the asparagus on the sheet and drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil, just enough to lightly coat the asparagus. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the asparagus, and toss until the spears are lightly coated in oil. Arrange the spears in a single layer on the pan.
- Bake just until the base of the asparagus is easily pierced through by a fork. Very thin asparagus, like the kind shown here, will take as little as 9 to 12 minutes, whereas thicker asparagus will need 15 to 20 minutes.
- Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and season however you'd like. You could keep it simple with a squeeze of lemon juice, or a sprinkle of Parmesan, or add a pat of butter or drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
- Roasted asparagus is best served when it's fresh out of the oven, but it will keep at room temperature for up to 1 hour or up to 4 days in the refrigerator (gently reheat before serving).

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, garlic, shallot, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the bell pepper is tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan; cook until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes; discard the thyme. Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree; season with salt and pepper and add up to 1 more teaspoon vinegar, if needed.
- Preheat a grill to high and generously oil the grates. Rub the fish with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Rub the asparagus with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fish skin-side down until the skin is marked and crisp, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip and grill until just cooked through, 1 to 2 more minutes. Grill the asparagus, turning occasionally, until charred in spots, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Spoon the pepper sauce onto plates. Top with the fish and asparagus; sprinkle with the parsley.

PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY GARLIC
Before asparagus got moved to its own botanical family, Asparagaceae, in the early 2000s, it was part of the lily family along with onions, chives, shallots and garlic. It makes sense then, that asparagus and garlic make such a good duo. When cooked with care, both can be mild and sweet (or pungent and bitter when cooked carelessly). To highlight the best of both ingredients, gently fry garlic into chips for a crispy topping, then use the lightly infused oil to sauté the asparagus. Both thin and chubby spears work, as would nearly any other vegetable you like with garlic: broccoli, kale, snap peas, fennel and more.

Steps:
- Place a paper towel-lined plate next to the stove. In a medium or large skillet, combine the garlic and olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook, shaking the skillet often, until the garlic is very light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, tilt it, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to the towel-lined plate, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet. Season the crispy garlic with salt.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook, shaking often, until bright green, crisp-tender and browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide onto a platter, including any oil in the skillet. Top with the garlic chips and season again with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Prepare filling: heat oil in large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook until softened but not brown, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until all moisture has evaporated, 10-12 minutes.
- Beat 1 egg yolk and 3/4 cup yogurt together and add to mushrooms. Reduce heat to medium and cook 2 minutes. Transfer to mixing bowl and let cool. Stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat large pot of water to boiling. Using kitchen string, tie asparagus spears together in bundle. Salt boiling water and add asparagus. Return water to boiling, then reduce heat and simmer 8 minutes. Drain and remove string. When cool enough to handle, cut asparagus spears 3 inches from top; set aside tips for garnish. Finely chop stems and drain again.
- Stir chopped asparagus into mushroom mixture and let filling cool to room temperature. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before filling turnovers.
- Line heavy baking sheet with parchment paper, securing corners with dabs of butter.
- Roll out each pastry sheet to 13-inch square on very lightly floured surface. Using dessert plate as guide, cut four 6-inch circles from each sheet. Lift off excess pastry, combine, and refrigerate for other use.
- Mix 1 egg yolk and the water in small bowl; lightly brush around each circle, avoiding cut edge. Place 1/4 cup cooled filling in center of each circle. Fold circles in half and seal edges with thumb and forefinger to make decorative border. Using kitchen scissors, snip 2 vents in top of each turnover. Brush tops with egg glaze. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Bake turnovers until golden brown, 25-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare coulis: puree bell peppers in food processor or blender. Add 1-1/2 cups yogurt, cayenne, and salt to taste and process to blend. Transfer sauce to small saucepan and heat over low heat until warmed through; do not overheat or coulis will separate. Stir in parsley.
- Meanwhile, reheat asparagus tips: melt 1 T. butter in small skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and toss gently until heated through.
- Place hot turnovers on serving plates and spoon sauce around each turnover. Garnish with asparagus tips. Serve at once.
