225 g Mahi Mahi filet
280 g black mussels
240 ml dry white wine
80 g roasted tomato
180 g potato
5 g garlic
15 ml extra-virgin olive oil
10 g Italian parsley
2 g sea salt
0.5 g black pepper
Method
Steam the black mussels gently with garlic and dry white wine until they open, then strain and reserve the broth.
Shallow-poach the Mahi Mahi filet in the warm mussel broth until delicately cooked and moist.
Cook the potatoes until tender, then season with extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
Warm the roasted tomato gently for plating.
Plate the Mahi Mahi with potatoes and roasted tomato, finish with parsley, and spoon the mussel broth around the fish.
Chef’s Note: This dish is all about restraint and clarity of flavor. Keep the poaching broth gentle and do not overcook the fish. The mussel liquor should remain clean, aromatic, and light.
