A main course that whispers elegance.
Serves: 2 / Time: 45 Minutes
Ingredients:
• 2x 180g Kingfish fillets (or another firm white fish)
• 1 ½ Cups Tara Iti Olive Oil (enough to just cover the fish)
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 Garlic clove, finely minced
• 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
• Pinch of sea salt
Method:
- Preheat oven to 110°C (230°F)
- Place fish in a small baking dish and pour olive oil over to submerge
- Poach in the oven for 20-25 minutes until just cooked through. The fish should flake easily but retain a silky texture
- Meanwhile, combine lemon zest, parsley, garlic, and a dash of salt for the gremolata
- Remove fish from oil (reserve the oil for dressings or bread dips), and spoon gremolata over the top before serving
The low, slow olive bath results in a mouth- melting texture – light yet deeply satisfying.
