Fish

Candied Kumquat

Pickled Serrano Pepper

Lemon Vinaigrette

Malanga Chips

Method

Preparing the Fish

  1. 1

    Slicing Hamachi

    Using a sharp knife, slice the hamachi into thin pieces, about 1/4 inch thick. Arrange them on a serving plate.

Making Candied Kumquat

  1. 2

    Cook Kumquats

    In a saucepan, combine kumquats, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until the kumquats are tender and syrupy.

  2. 3

    Cool and Slice

    Remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled, slice kumquats and set aside for garnish.

Pickling Serrano Pepper

  1. 4

    Prepare Pickling Liquid

    In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat until sugar and salt dissolve.

  2. 5

    Pickle the Peppers

    Slice the serrano peppers and place them in a jar. Pour the pickling liquid over the peppers and let them sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Making Lemon Vinaigrette

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Preparing Malanga Chips

  1. 7

    Slice Malanga

    Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice malanga thinly into chips.

  2. 8

    Fry Chips

    In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Fry the malanga slices in batches until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

Plating the Dish

  1. 9

    Assemble

    On the serving plate with hamachi, drizzle lemon vinaigrette over the fish. Top with candied kumquat, pickled serrano peppers, and malanga chips. Serve immediately.
