Ingredients
- 1 celery stalk (from the heart), shaved on a mandolin into iced water
- 100 g red emperor fillet (from both the upper and lower fillet)
- 1 small blood orange, peeled and segmented, juice squeezed from remaining flesh
- 1 tbsp Sicilian extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt
- micro red vein sorrel
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Using a mandolin, shave the celery directly into a bowl of iced water.
Using a large sharp knife, thinly slice the fish against the grain on an angle, placing on a serving plate as you go.
Place the orange juice, olive oil and a pinch of sea salt in a bowl and stir just enough to dissolve the salt, without emulsifying it.
Drain the celery well. Break a few orange segments over the top of the fish and drizzle with a little dressing. Scatter with the celery and micro sorrel, then finish with a grind of black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately.
