Instructions
Baked Cherry Tomatoes:
- Rinse the tomatoes and cut them in halves.
- Place them in an ovenproof dish.
- Mix them with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake the tomatoes at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) for 2 hours, until they are soft and slightly wrinkled on the surface.
- Remove the tomatoes from the oven and let them cool.
Fried and Steamed Fish Fillet:
- Remove the plaice fillets from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you need to use them.
- Sprinkle salt over the fish and let it sit at room temperature.
- Rinse and dry the fish - it is now ready to use.
- Beat the egg with a fork in a deep plate.
- Pour panko, seasoned with salt and pepper, onto a flat plate.
- Dip two of the fillets first in egg, then in panko.
- Heat a pan with butter.
- Fry the fish fillets in butter in the pan until they are golden and crispy.
- Roll the remaining two fish fillets around the cold-smoked salmon.
- Steam the rolled fish fillets in lightly salted water until they are just cooked through.
Lemon Caviar:
- Pour neutral-tasting oil into a bowl and place it in the freezer for at least 30 minutes until the oil is ice-cold.
- Dissolve agar-agar in lemon juice. It needs to rest there for about 10 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into a small pot.
- Heat the liquid to between 95-100 degrees Celsius (203-212 degrees Fahrenheit), stirring constantly. Keep stirring until all the agar-agar is dissolved.
- Remove the pot from the heat.
- Let the liquid cool to between 50-55 degrees Celsius (122-131 degrees Fahrenheit). It must not get cooler than 50 degrees.
- Take the bowl with the ice-cold oil out of the freezer.
- Drop the liquid carefully into the cold oil - this must be done gently.
- The cold oil causes the agar-agar to solidify quickly, forming the caviar at the bottom of the oil as small pearls.
- Fill a bowl with tap water.
- When you have the amount of caviar you want, place them in a sieve and rinse with tap water.
- Let them drain, and they are ready to serve.
Plating the Stjerneskud:
- Toast the rye bread and place it on two large plates.
- Break off the woody end of the green asparagus and steam them in lightly salted water for 2-3 minutes. Pour cold water over them afterward to retain their crispness and beautiful green color.
- Rinse and dry the salad leaves and fresh dill.
- Arrange salad leaves, fried and steamed fish, asparagus, pickled red onions, baked tomatoes, shrimp, dill, and lemon caviar on the bread.
- Serve immediately!
