Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

1. 01

   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss romanesco florets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-18 minutes until tender and edges are golden brown.

2. 02

   In a small saucepan, bring the quinoa and vegetable stock to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, let stand for 5 minutes, and fluff with a fork.

3. 03

   Prepare the emulsion: In a small bowl, whisk together the yuzu juice, minced shallot, and grated ginger. Slowly stream in 1 tablespoon of olive oil while whisking vigorously until slightly thickened. Season with a pinch of salt.

4. 04

   Pat the Arctic Charr fillets extremely dry with paper towels. Season the skin side generously with salt.

5. 05

   Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the fish skin-side down, pressing gently with a spatula for 30 seconds to ensure even contact.

6. 06

   Cook undisturbed for 4 minutes until the skin is glass-like and crispy. Carefully flip the fish and cook for only 60 seconds more to maintain a succulent medium-rare center.

7. 07

   To plate, create a base of toasted quinoa, arrange the roasted romanesco on top, and nestle the Arctic Charr over the vegetables. Drizzle the yuzu-ginger emulsion over the fish and garnish with microgreens.
