Favourite Faraway Bay Recipe
Seared Wild Lemon Pepper Crusted Threadfin Salmon served with a soy wasabi ponzu dipping sauce
Pepper Crust:
50g lemon peppercorns
20g bread crumbs
1 tbsn lemon zest
1 tspn tumeric ground
10g ground garlic
15g maldon sea salt
1 tbs black sesame oil
20 g corn flour
Dipping Sauce:
50 ml lite soy sauce
30 ml lime juice
1 tspn wasabi paste (or more!)
Combine and whisk together
1 fillet of fresh threadfin salmon
Method
Clean the fillet and trim the tail (or it will overcook in the searing process). Wash, dry and refrigerate.
Heat a small pan to moderate heat and toast the lemon pepper, tumeric and salt until tumeric starts to darken in colour and becomes aromatic. Place all remaining ingredients for the crust including the toasted pepper into a blender and blend for 3 second intervals until mixture is breadcrumb consistency – about 4 times. Lightly coat the fish in the crust mixture and sear in very hot pan with a little vegetable oil. Slowly roll the fish fillet once in the pan until coloured evenly on all sides. This should take no more than 15 seconds. Immediately place fish in the freezer for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process. Finely slice with a very sharp knife and lay evenly in a line on a serving tray with dipping sauce.
