Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 shallot, peeled and left whole
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup creme fraiche
1/4 cup labneh
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon fennel pollen
2 stalks celery, trimmed and shaved thin on a mandoline
1 head fennel, trimmed and shaved thin on a mandoline
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
2 teaspoons currants, soaked in hot water for 3 to 4 minutes
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
24 ounces cooking olive oil
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 clove garlic
Four 6-ounce pieces ling cod
1/4 cup picked parsley leaves
2 tablespoons freshly torn basil leaves
2 tablespoons sliced fresh chives

Steps:

  • For the charred onion yogurt: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Add the shallot to grill and char on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from the grill and wrap in commercial-quality plastic wrap. Heat the shallot in the microwave for 2 minutes to cook through. Let cool enough to handle, then remove the shallot from the plastic wrap and roughly chop. Add to a medium bowl along with the buttermilk, creme fraiche, labneh, chives and fennel pollen. Stir until thoroughly combined and set aside until ready to serve.
  • For the fennel salad: Add the celery, fennel, pine nuts, currants and vinegar to a large bowl and gently toss until combined.
  • For the cod: Add the oil, thyme and garlic to a very large, high-sided saute pan and gently heat the oil to 120 degrees F. Add the fish and make sure it is covered with oil. Allow to poach for 7 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spatula and reserve.
  • Ladle the yogurt sauce on plates. Top with the fish, then the salad on top. Garnish with the parsley, basil and chives.

I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to try this recipe. It seems like it would be really difficult to make.

I'm allergic to dairy. Can I use a different type of yogurt in the sauce?

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have a grill. Do you have any suggestions for how I could cook the fish without a grill?

This dish was a little too complicated for me. I ended up burning the fish.

I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I really enjoyed this salad. The flavors were well-balanced and the fennel was not overpowering.

I would definitely make this dish again, but I would use less yogurt in the sauce.

The charred onion yogurt sauce was a little too tangy for me, but the rest of the dish was amazing.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The sweetness of the fennel and the tanginess of the yogurt sauce really complement each other.
