Fish

Smoked Onion Cream

Fermented Kumquat

Method

Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Cod

    Rinse the cod fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Season Cod

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the cod fillets. Drizzle lemon juice over them and let sit for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Steam Cod

    Place the seasoned cod fillets in a steamer basket. Steam over boiling water for 8-10 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Smoked Onion Cream Preparation

  1. 4

    Slice Onions

    Thinly slice the onions and set aside.

  2. 5

    Cook Onions

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for about 15 minutes until they are soft and beginning to caramelize.

  3. 6

    Make Cream

    Add heavy cream and smoked paprika to the skillet with the onions. Stir well and simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Fermented Kumquat Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare Kumquats

    Wash the kumquats thoroughly and slice them into quarters without removing the seeds.

  2. 8

    Create Brine

    In a saucepan, combine water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil until the salt and sugar dissolve completely.

  3. 9

    Ferment Kumquats

    Place the kumquat quarters in a clean jar and pour the brine over them. Seal the jar and let it sit at room temperature for 2-3 days to ferment, then refrigerate.
