Scorpion Fish with Citrus Vinaigrette
Healthy, because
Even smarter
The green asparagus to the dragon's head with citrus marinade is rich in potassium; this balances the body's fluid balance and supports the kidneys in their functions. The shoots also provide zinc, which is important for a good immune system and healthy skin.
The dragon head is a speciality and not available everywhere. As an alternative, another type of fish can be used - how about the regionally available trout, for example?
Ingredients
- For the fish
- 2 small Scorpionfish (ready to cook, with head)
- salt (and)
- freshly ground peppers
- 2 small Herb bouquets (with parsley, marjoram, thyme, rosemary)
- 1 Tbsp Orange peel
- 2 Tbsps clarified butter
- 600 grams green Asparagus
- 200 grams red and yellow Cherry tomatoes
- 20 grams butter
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh marjoram
- For the citrus vinaigrette
- 3 Tbsps lemon juice
- 2 Tbsps Orange Syrup
- 3 Tbsps Marjoram oil
Preparation steps
Preheat the oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F).
Rinse the fish and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper inside and out and place the bouquet garni in the abdominal spaces. Sprinkle the fish with the orange zest and cook in a hot pan with butter until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cook in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
For the vegetables, rinse, trim and peel the bottom third of the asparagus, and cut into 2 cm (approximately 1 inch) pieces. Blanch in boiling salted water for 3-5 minutes. Remove, rinse in cold water and drain well. Rinse the tomatoes. Melt the butter in a pan and saute the asparagus together with the tomatoes for 3-5 minutes. Deglaze the pan with a bit of the asparagus cooking liquid, boil briefly and season with salt, pepper and marjoram.
For the citrus vinaigrette, mix the lemon juice with the orange syrup, mustard and oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the finished vegetables on warmed plates and place the fish on top. Drizzle with the citrus vinaigrette and serve immediately.
