1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the milk, water and 1 teaspoon salt, as well as 1/2 a teaspoon of the black pepper.
2
Place the salsify pieces in the pan and bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
3
Remove from the liquid and cool.
4
Once cool enough to handle, sprinkle the salsify with the cornstarch.
5
Be sure to shake off the excess cornstarch.
6
Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.

Once the butter is hot, place the salsify in the pan and sear for 1 minute.

Add 1 more tablespoon of butter to the pan and turn the salsify over onto the other side.

Bass:
13
Set a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat.
14
Add the olive oil.
15
Use a sharp knife to score the skin of the fish with 2 or 3 diagonal slits that pierce the skin only (this will keep the skin from curling as it cooks).
16
Season the fish with the salt and pepper and dip in the flour.

Shake off the excess flour and place the fish, skin side down in the saute pan.

Cook until the fish begins to caramelize, about 3 minutes.
