IN ADVANCE

Light the charcoal in the Big Green Egg, and heat, with the Stainless Steel Grid, to a temperature of 220°C.

Cut each sea bream fillet into 2 equal pieces. Peel and finely grate the potato.

For the couscous, peel and chop the shallots. Peel and halve the peppers and remove the stems and seeds. Cut the flesh of the peppers and fennel into cubes of about 5 millimetres. Cut the courgettes into 5 thick slices. Peel these slices and cut these peels into small cubes of about 5 millimetres thick; you won’t be using the rest of the courgettes in this recipe. Clean the mangetout and cut them into cubes of about 5 millimetres. Halve the cherry tomatoes lengthwise. Chop the basil leaves finely.

METHOD

Heat the olive oil in the Cast Iron Skillet.

Remove the skillet from the EGG and place on a heat-resistant mat. Divide the grated potato into 4 equal portions and place the potato in the skillet, spacing them out. Press down slightly with a spatula to flatten them and place a piece of sea bream fillet, skin down, on each potato cake. Sprinkle with sea salt to taste, close the lid of the EGG and fry until the potato rösti is golden brown and crispy; the sea bream does not need to be cooked yet.

Remove the potato rösti with the sea bream fillets from the skillet and place them fish-side down on a plate. Heat the rest of the olive oil in the skillet.

Add the shallots and fry for 2-3 minutes until the shallots are translucent. Mix in the diced pepper and fry for another 2-3 minutes. Spoon in the diced fennel and fry for another 2-3 minutes. Add the courgette and mangetout and fry for 2-3 minutes again. Finally, mix in the tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes; stir frequently and close the lid of the EGG after each action.

Mix in the basil with the vegetables and add freshly ground white pepper and salt to taste. Place the sea bream fish-side down, with the rösti facing up, on top of the vegetables. Close the lid of the EGG and cook for 4-5 minutes until the sea bream fillets have reached a core temperature of 62 °C; you can measure this with the Instant Read Thermometer.

Remove the skillet from the EGG and spoon the sea bream fillet with the rösti and vegetable couscous onto the plates.
