METHOD
Crispy skinned fish and eggp
- Dry the fish skin by patting dry with paper towel. Using a a sharp knife score the skin making 3 marks evenly spaced across each fillet. Place the fish in the fridge for 1-4 hours to dry out the skin.
- Place the eggplant in a large bowl and sprinkle with the salt and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the combi steam oven on Combi mode Fan Plus at 200°C + 0% humidity.
- Place the flour into a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- In another bowl, add the panko crumbs, parmesan, cumin, oregano and garlic and mix to combine, season to taste.
- In a third bowl, make an egg wash by whisking the eggs with a tablespoon of water until well combined.
- Wash the eggplant and pat dry.
- Working in batches, toss a handful of eggplant chips into the flour, then coat in the egg wash and then the panko crumb mixture making sure each piece is well coated.
- Spread the chips into a single layer on 2 baking trays, allowing plenty of space between the chips for browning. Spray the chips with the olive oil spray.
- Place into the combi steam oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until browned and crisp.
- Remove the fish from the fridge and pat again to remove any excess moisture.
- Remove the eggplant chips from the oven and place in the warming drawer to keep warm, and change the combi steam oven to Combi Grill setting 3 + 0% moisture.
- Sprinkle the fish skin lightly with salt flakes and place, skin side up, on a grilling and roasting insert in a universal tray. Place the tray on the highest shelf in the combi steam Pro oven and grill for 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the skin is crisp. Remove from the oven and rest for 3 minutes.
Roasted capsicum sauce
- Place the capsicum, tomato and onion on a universal tray. Place on the top shelf in the combi steam oven and Grill on Level 3 + 20% humidity for 15 minutes, or until lightly charred and soft.
- Cool slightly and remove the skin from the capsicum.
- Blend or process the charred vegetables with the remaining ingredients and season to taste.
To serve
- Place the onion in a small bowl and sprinkle with the salt and rub the salt into the onion with your hands. Rest for 5 minutes and combine with the sumac, parsley and dill.
- Serve the crispy skinned fish with the eggplant chips, roasted capsicum sauce, herbs salad, lemon wedges and some olives.
Hints and tips
- The fish can be cooked in the oven on Full Grill at 230°C for 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Choosing sustainable fish is an important way to support healthy ocean ecosystems and promote responsible fishing practices. Ask your fishmonger for sustainably caught fish. We used line-caught snapper in this recipe, however barramundi or Hapuka can also be used where sustainable.
