Method
- Firstly prepare your kingfish brine by adding all ingredients into a pot and bringing to the boil, leave to cool down, chill in the fridge before using
- Cover your kingfish fillet in rock salt and refrigerate for 2 hours, rinse salt off under cold water and refrigerate for a further 2 hours
- Cover your kingfish in the brine and leave for a furter 2 hours
- Using a blow torch (or gas hob top) burn your chillies until the skin is black. Place into a bowl and cover with glad wrap, this will make the chillies easier to peel. After 10 minute scrape off all the black skin. Remove seeds, throw into a blender and add your Pomegranate molasses, sherry vinegar and oil
- Remove skin from kingfish fillet, remove blood line. Dice your kingfish to 1cm cube
- Add your soy sauce to another small mixing bowl, add one whole egg yolk, leave for 20 minutes
- Place 100g of your diced cured kingfish into a bowl, Add all of your condiments to a small mixing bowl, lightly mix
- To plate, place a small metal ring in the center of your bowl add your mixed kingfish into the ring and gently press into the center, do not compact it in
- To finish remove your egg yolk from the soy sauce (the egg yolk should be slightly firmer), place on top of your kingfish mix.
