Juniper Smoked Cornish Fish Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Fish

   Rinse the Cornish fish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the fillets with salt, black pepper, and crushed juniper berries.

2. 2

   Prepare the Parsnips

   Peel the parsnips and cut them into small cubes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Sauté the Wild Mushrooms

   In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the wild mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme.

4. 4

   Smoke the Fish

   In a smoker or a grill with wood chips, smoke the seasoned fish fillets for about 10-15 minutes or until cooked through and infused with flavor. If using a grill, place the fish on a piece of foil to catch drippings.

5. 5

   Mash the Parsnips

   Drain the boiled parsnips and mash them with a fork or potato masher. Add a drizzle of olive oil and adjust seasoning if necessary.

6. 6

   Serve

   On a plate, place a dollop of mashed parsnips, top with the smoked fish, and garnish with sautéed wild mushrooms and a wedge of lemon.
