Base recipe = 2 servings.
360 g Orange Roughy filet
100 g whole eggs
120 g all-purpose flour
60 g Japanese panko breadcrumbs
115 g clarified butter
75 g cherry tomatoes
75 g black olives
57 g mixed greens
180 g Roma tomatoes
120 ml extra virgin olive oil
30 ml lemon juice
30 ml white wine vinegar
5 g Dijon mustard
Sea salt & cracked black pepper
Method
Prepare the tomato vinaigrette by blending Roma tomatoes, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, and emulsifying with olive oil.
Slow-roast the cherry tomatoes with black olives until the mixture reaches a marmalade consistency.
Bread the Orange Roughy with flour, egg wash, and Japanese panko breadcrumbs.
Fry in clarified butter until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes per side.
Plate tomato vinaigrette, mixed greens, crispy fish, and finish with tomato and black olive marmalade.
Chef’s Note: This dish gives a beautiful contrast between crisp breading, sweet roasted tomato, briny olive notes, and the brightness of the vinaigrette. It is elegant enough for plated service and flexible for banquet execution with prep done in stages.
