  2. Turn the baby carrot, asparagus and potato.
  3. In a pot of boiling water blanch the carrots for 10 minutes or until soft. Remove from water. In the same water, blanch the potatoes for 15 minutes or until soft in simmering water.
  4. Preheat oven to 180C. In a non-stick pan, pan-fry the Norwegian halibut until golden brown, flip and bake in the oven for 7 minutes.

Garnish the plate with the turned vegetables and drizzle the sauce around.
