First make your puree. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Peel your carrots and cut into 1 inch pieces. Use about 1/4 of an onion, leave it whole, don't chop it. Toss the carrots and the onion in Olive Oil and Salt. Place on a silpat lined baking sheet and cook for 35 minutes - shaking the pan halfway through. Once they're tender enough to be poked with a paring knife easily, they're done. Place the carrots and onion in a blender/Vitamix.

Add to the blender your ginger powder, heavy cream, tahini, cumin powder, and a pinch of cayenne. Process until it's completely smooth - about 1 minute. Taste and season with salt - process again for 10 more seconds. Pass the contents of the blender through a fine mesh strainer to remove any grittiness. When ready to serve the puree, place in a small pot and heat up over a medium flame on the stove.

For the fish: Heat up a medium sized saute pan - add your Sesame Oil. Once hot, season your fish on both sides with salt. Add the fish, skin side down to the pan and cook about 2-3 minutes until your fish is halfway cooked. Flip the fish over and cook til it's cooked through.

Plate the Carrot Puree, place the fish on top. In the same pan you were sautéing your fish, dump out any excess oil. Place your butter in the pan and cook until it starts to brown slightly. Add in your lemon juice, swirl around the pan for 5 seconds, then ladle over the fish. Finish the plate with some de-shelled edamame and top the fish with a mix of thin sliced nori and pea shoots.
