180g x 4 portions Hiramasa kingfish fillet, skin on

Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Puree
200g Tasmanian Purple garlic cloves, peeled
500ml full cream milk

Garlic Puree
- Peel the garlic cloves and blanch them in boiling water for 1 minute. Strain and discard the water, repeat this process twice more, making sure fresh cold water is used each time.
- Place garlic cloves in the milk and cream in a solid steam tray. Steam at 100°C for 15 minutes or until they are very tender.
- Strain the garlic and reserve the milk and cream.

Hiramasa Kingfish
- Score the skin of the kingfish and steam at 85˚C for 9 minutes or until just cooked. (a good way to know your fish is ready is to insert the tip of a knife into the thickest part of the flesh, if the knife does not encounter any resistance the fish is ready)
- Remove fish from steam oven and rest skin side down on absorbent paper for 1 minute.
Cauliflower and cime di Rapa
- Wash the cauliflower and cut into 1cm rosettes and place on perforated steam tray.
- Wash the cime di rapa discarding the larger and tougher stems and place on a perforated steam tray.
- Place the cauliflower in the steam oven and steam at 100˚C for 2 minutes, then add the Cime di Rapa and Steam at 100˚C for a further 1 minute.
- Remove from steam oven and season with Salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil
