1 tbsp

Butter

2 stalks

Lemongrass

2 cups

Fish Stock

Directions:

1

In a shallow bowl, combine Parmesan cheese and flour

2

Lightly score the skin side of the fillets several times to form a cross hatch pattern without cutting into the flesh of the fish

3

Season the portions of the blackfish with salt and a touch of lemon juice

4

Dredge the seasoned fish into the Parmesan/flour mixture

5

In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, add olive oil

6

Add fillets, skin side down

7

Cook until skin is crisp, about 4 minutes

8

Flip fish and cook until fish is just cooked through, about 2 minutes

9

Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the pan and place on absorbent towels to rest in a warm place for a moment, while the plate is being composed

10

To serve, remove the Silver Queen Corn Pudding from molds and place into large, shallow bowls

11

Over the warm pudding, place a portion of fish

12

Over the fish, spoon on the Saute of Crab and Baby Corn

With 2 demitasse spoons, form the caviar into quenelle or egg shapes and place over the fish next to the bed of corn and crab

15

Lightly garnish the fish with chives, chive blossoms, dill and chervil

16

Preheat oven to 275 degrees F

17

In a 4 quart saucepan, bring cream and corn to a boil

Reduce heat and simmer until corn is tender, about 5 minutes

19

Pour mixture into a blender and blend until smooth, season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper

20

Strain the mixture through a fine strainer into a bowl

21

In another mixing bowl, beat the eggs

22

Slowly pour the hot corn mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to avoid curdling the eggs

23

Pour the custard into individual custard cups or molds, preferably nonstick

24

Place the molds in a roasting pan and pour hot water in the pan to come halfway up the sides of the mold

25

Bake until custards are just set, about 20 minutes

26

In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter

27

Add crab and corn, cook, stirring, until mixture is just heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes

28

Stir in lemon juice, remove from heat and season with hot pepper sauce and salt

29

Cut lemongrass into 2-inch pieces and bruise with the back of a knife

30

Place lemongrass in a piece of cheesecloth and tie closed

31

Combine lemongrass, stock and corn in a saucepan

32

Gently bring to a boil, simmer 15 minutes, remove from heat and let steep 15 minutes

33

Remove cheesecloth, puree mixture in blender, and pour through a fine strainer, pressing on the solids to extract as much flavor as possible

34

When ready to use, bring the broth to a boil, season to taste with salt, whisk in butter and froth with a hand-held immersion blender
