Total time: 42 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 1 whole sea bream or snapper (2–2.5 lbs), scaled and gutted; 1 lemon, sliced thin; 3 sprigs fresh thyme; 2 garlic cloves, crushed; 3 tbsp olive oil, divided; 1 tsp kosher salt; ½ tsp coarse black pepper; 1.5 lbs cassava (yuca) root, peeled, julienned into ¼-inch batons; oil for frying (about 3 cups vegetable or peanut); fleur de sel to taste; 4 tbsp unsalted butter; 1 tbsp pink peppercorries; 1 small shallot, minced; 2 tbsp fresh lime juice; pinch sea salt; fresh cilantro for garnish

A whole fish (sea bream or snapper works beautifully) hits a hot grill until the skin crisps and flesh stays tender and juicy, served alongside golden-crispy cassava fries and a silky brown-butter sauce spiked with toasted pink peppercorries and fresh lime. This is restaurant technique executed at home—bold, impressive, deeply delicious.
