Ingredients: 320g lionfish fillet, pin bones removed, very cold; 2 tbsp white miso; 1 tbsp red miso; 1 tbsp honey; 1 tbsp rice vinegar; 80 ml neutral oil; 1 medium taro root, peeled & sliced paper-thin on a mandoline; Oil for deep frying (about 500 ml); Sea salt; 2 fresh passion fruits; 1 tsp black sesame seeds; ¼ tsp white sesame seeds; Micro shiso leaves & chervil for garnish; Juice of ½ lime

Paper-thin slices of raw lionfish (a sustainable invasive species), each kiss of heat on both sides to cure the exterior while keeping the center butter-soft. Draped over a deep mahogany burnt miso oil, topped with a single artfully balanced crispy taro chip, garnished with bright passion fruit caviar and a whisper of sesame. A study in contrasts: raw and cooked, creamy and crisp, umami and bright acidity.
