Ingredients: 8 oz very fresh, sushi-grade yellowtail fillet, skin removed; zest and juice of 2 limes; 1 teaspoon sea salt; ½ teaspoon white pepper; 1 small ripe mango, peeled, cut into ¼-inch cubes; 1 tablespoon coconut oil; 1 tablespoon brown sugar; pinch of sea salt; 4 cloves black garlic, thinly sliced or minced; 1 small green plantain, peeled; neutral oil for deep-frying (about ½ cup); ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika; 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil; 2 fresh cilantro sprigs; fleur de sel for finishing; microgreens or pea shoots for garnish (optional)

Thinly sliced raw yellowtail cured briefly in lime and salt, topped with caramelized mango, fermented black garlic, and a shower of crispy-fried plantain powder—a creative Caribbean reinterpretation that layers texture, umami, and tropical brightness.
