Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 8 whole smelt (3–4 oz total), cleaned & gutted; 6 tbsp clarified butter or ghee; 4 sheets phyllo pastry, room temperature; 2 tbsp melted butter; 4 cloves garlic, peeled; ¼ cup olive oil, divided; 2 egg yolks; 1 tbsp Dijon mustard; 1 lemon, juiced; Fleur de sel & cracked black pepper; ½ cup fresh dill fronds; ¼ cup thinly shaved radish; 2 tbsp fresh tarragon leaves; 1 small shallot, minced

Whole smelt are crisped in clarified butter until their delicate skin shatters, then wrapped still-warm in tissue-thin phyllo pastry cones that crackle on every bite. A vibrant dill and shallot salad sits alongside, with a roasted garlic aioli that's been charred until its edges turn bitter and nutty.
