Ingredients

Preparation

*The fermented Jerusalem artichoke needs to be prepared two weeks in advance 

  • Cover the pieces of fish with fine salt and wait for 5 minutes. Rinse off the salt.
  • Put plenty of butter on a tray/oven proof dish.
  • Place a bay leaf on the fish and cover with butter. Bake the fish at 50 degrees for about 15 minutes.
  • Save the butter for the sauce.

Sauce

  • Put the double cream and bay leaves in a saucepan. Reduce this by half.
  • Take the cream off the heat and stir in the saved butter.
  • Strain the sauce, season with salt and mix in the truffle seaweed.

Fermented Jerusalem artichoke*

  • Put the Jerusalem artichoke in a vacuum bag together with the salt and water, and vacuum it.
  • Leave the Jerusalem artichoke at room temperature for 2 weeks.

Sago porridge

  • Put granule sago and fish stock in a saucepan. Bring this to a boil while stirring. If the sago absorbs too much liquid, add more water.
  • When the grits are tender (after about 8 minutes), strain off the excess liquid and put the sago grits back into a small saucepan. Add cream, butter and fermentation brine. Boil this while stirring, if the porridge becomes too thick, add a little more cream.
  • Stir in the fermented Jerusalem artichoke and season with salt.

Plating

  • Put the porridge in the bottom of a deep dish. Add the fish and top it with fresh truffle seaweed and dried marigold. Place the sauce around the fish.
