Steamed Sea Bass

It's Regal Fish time again. This time I got two whole sea bass, gutted and scaled from Regal:

Admittedly, my filleting skills need improving, but I used, the bones and head to make a lovely fish stock, which added bags of flavour to the final dish. I steamed the fillets in a tin foil bag in the oven with ginger, garlic and chilli.

In order to make it a proper meal I steamed some broccoli with the same aromatics, fried off an Asian mushroom mix and served it with wild rice. To garnish I added some hibiscus salt.

The only complaints my kids had was, that there was only one fillet per person...

Poached Duck Egg with Hibiscus Salt for Breakfast

Well, I love poached eggs. And the one I had for breakfast today was special. This one is a duck egg and the yoke is super creamy. Underneath the egg is loin of pork with a little mushroom powder for added umami. The hibiscus salt on top is simply good sea salt blitzed together with dried hibiscus flowers. Add freshly ground pepper and a little basil to add some green and you have a breakfast fit for a king.
