Ingredients

•300g fresh Black Cod fillets (2 x 150g portions)
•500ml high-quality Dashi stock
•40ml fresh Yuzu juice
•2 tbsp Shiro (white) Miso paste
•60ml heavy cream
•10g fresh ginger, finely grated
•4 large scallions, roots removed
•100ml grape seed oil or neutral oil
•1 small lotus root, peeled and thinly sliced
•1 tbsp Mirin

Cooking Instructions

  1. 01

    Prepare the Charred Scallion Oil: Place scallions in a dry cast-iron pan over high heat until blackened. Blend with grape seed oil for 2 minutes, then strain through a coffee filter to yield a clear, emerald-green oil.

  2. 02

    Make the Lotus Crisps: Deep fry the thin lotus root slices in 160°C oil until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels and season immediately with a pinch of fine sea salt.

  3. 03

    Prepare the Miso Emulsion: In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, miso paste, and grated ginger. Simmer gently over low heat for 5 minutes, whisking constantly until smooth and slightly thickened. Keep warm.

  4. 04

    Poach the Cod: In a shallow wide pan, combine dashi, yuzu juice, and mirin. Bring to a very gentle simmer (ideally 80°C). Carefully submerge the cod fillets. Poach for 8-10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 50°C and the flakes just begin to separate.

  5. 05

    Plating: Place a generous spoonful of the miso emulsion in the center of a warmed shallow bowl. Gently lift the cod from the poaching liquid and place atop the emulsion.

  6. 06

    Final Touch: Drizzle the charred scallion oil around the emulsion. Garnish the fish with three lotus crisps and micro-shiso leaves if available. Serve immediately.

The Caprese Salad Skewers recipe was a triumph! I prepared them for a party's barbecue and everyone loved them. The basil was so aromatic, the mozzarella so fresh, and the skewers were the perfect size and an appropriate.
