* Preheat grill. Combine 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon rind. Sprinkle 4 (6-ounce) striped bass fillets with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Grill 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Divide butter evenly among fillets.
Grilling the asparagus creates robust flavor, which stands up well to the earthiness of truffle oil and the peppery bite of arugula. Both the cooking method and the quality of the ingredients create a stellar first course.
