  • 4 pcs. Asparagus green
  • 4 pcs. Leaf Lettuce leaves

Baked cherry tomatoes

  • 300 gram Cherry Tomatoes in different colors
  • Olive Oil
  • Spices salt and pepper

Lemon Caviar

  • 100 gram Lemon Juice freshly squeezed
  • gram Agar agar
  • Oil neutral in taste

Plating

  • 2 slices Rye Bread

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!
