Chef Yoshimi Hidaka of Ristorante Acquapazza's beloved "Deep-Fried Rapeseed Blossoms with Curry Flavor." This is a simple yet incredibly delicious dish of lightly fried seasonal rapeseed blossoms served with white fish and tomatoes. Perfect as an appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (4 servings)

  • Sea Bream 70g x 4
  • Cherry Tomatoes (to taste)
  • Rapeseed Blossoms 1 pack
  • Cake Flour (to taste)

Seasonings

  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • Olive Oil (to taste)
  • Curry Powder (to taste)
  • Frying Oil (to taste)

Steps

  1. Season the Sea Bream with salt (to taste) and pepper (to taste).
  2. Lightly coat only the skin side of the Sea Bream with cake flour (to taste).
  3. Cut the Cherry Tomatoes in half, keeping the stems attached.
  4. Heat a frying pan, add olive oil (to taste), and sear the Sea Bream skin-side down. [This is the key!] To get crispy skin, cook over low heat initially, pressing down slightly on the fish. Avoid flipping too often even if you're curious about the doneness.
  5. Place the Cherry Tomatoes cut-side down with the Sea Bream and cook.
  6. Deep-fry the Rapeseed Blossoms in frying oil (to taste) heated to 180°C (350°F). [This is the key!] Be cautious of splattering when adding to the oil; hold a lid to protect yourself. Once the sizzling sound subsides, remove the lid and continue frying.
  7. Flip the Cherry Tomatoes over once they have some color.
  8. Once the Rapeseed Blossoms have lost moisture and are nicely crisped, remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
  9. Once the Sea Bream is cooked through, remove it from the pan. The Cherry Tomatoes will finish cooking with residual heat.
  10. Sprinkle a small amount of salt over the deep-fried Rapeseed Blossoms.
  11. Sprinkle curry powder (to taste) over the Rapeseed Blossoms.
  12. Arrange the seared Sea Bream and Cherry Tomatoes on a plate.
  13. Place the Rapeseed Blossoms on top of the Sea Bream and Cherry Tomatoes.
  14. Using a fine-mesh sieve or similar tool, sprinkle curry powder (to taste) over the Rapeseed Blossoms and around the edge of the plate.
