Preparation
- Warm extra virgin olive oil in a saucepan with lightly golden garlic.
- Add the clams and white wine, cover, and simmer gently for about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and keep covered for another 10 minutes.
- Remove the clams from their shells and strain the cooking liquid. Blend the broth with a drizzle of olive oil to create a creamy clam emulsion and keep warm.
- Season the grouper filet with sea salt and black pepper. Sear skin-side down in hot olive oil until crisp, then finish roasting at 350°F (175°C) until just cooked through.
- Slice the potato into rounds, brush with rosemary-infused oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake between parchment and tray at 300°F (150°C) for about 20 minutes.
- To plate, spoon the warm clam emulsion onto the plate, arrange the rosemary potatoes, and place the roasted grouper filet on top. Garnish with crispy rosemary and edible flower petals if available.
