In a medium size sauté pan, place the mango, honey and vinegar; bring to a boil. Reduce to medium high heat and cook 3-4 minutes or until large bubbles form. Do not completely cook out liquid. Remove sauté pan from the heat and pour the mango, honey and vinegar into a blender. Add the salt and cumin. Blend for 45 seconds or until completely smooth. (NOTE: ensure to hold lid down with a towel to ensure the steam does not blow the top off.) Once pureed, refrigerate. Reheat for service.
Combine all ingredients in a stainless steel bowl mix with lime juice and salt until fully incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Add water to a 12 qt sauce pan with 1/8 cup kosher salt; bring to boil; add whole potatoes and cook 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Dump out water, place ice and cold water back on to potatoes to shock. Drain and allow to cool. Once potatoes are cooled, cut into quarters lengthwise. Serve 8 quarters (2 whole potatoes) per serving.
Using a ladle, place 1-1/2 oz hot Cumin Mango Gastrique at 7 o’clock on the plate in a pool. Using the back of the ladle or spoon, push through the pool and make a half moon going towards 2 o’clock. Add 1 tsp vegetable oil to the purple potatoes and heat in the microwave 20-30 seconds. Place hot potatoes @ 2 o’clock. Shake ¼ tsp. salt and pepper on top of potatoes. Sauté 3 asparagus spears in a heated sauté pan with vegetable oil, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper for 3-4 minutes or until al dente. Place the asparagus on the gastrique from 10 o’clock to 4 o’clock. Season 2 3-oz pieces of cod with kosher salt, black pepper and ground cumin. Sear skin side down in a seasoned sauté pan for 2 minutes, flip and continue to cook for 2 minutes, until fish reaches 145°F for 15 seconds. Once fished is cooked place one piece on top of the other @ 9 o’clock. Top with 1/8 cup Mango Strawberry Pico de Gallo allowing the pieces to slightly fall down over the front and sides.
