Preparation Instructions

Difficulty: [usr 2]

  1. Prepare the spiced vinaigrette by whisking together the oils, raspberry-flavored vinegar, lemon juice, spices, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
  2. Peel and slice the garlic cloves into thin strips (petals). Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over low heat, add the strips, and fry gently to a blond color without overheating. Drain in a colander.
  3. Cut the fish into steaks and cook by steaming or microwaving until tender.
  4. Clean and mix the salads, then dress with the spiced vinaigrette.
  5. On 4 plates, layer the dressed salad, top with stripped fish alternating with garlic petals. Drizzle more vinaigrette, sprinkle crushed pink peppercorns and ginger, and garnish with chervil sprigs.
  6. Serve lukewarm.
