Seared Kingfish Carpaccio

Ingredients
  

  • 200g fresh kingfish
  • 1 red radish, thinly sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Apple cider vinegar (ACV)
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 orange, peeled and segmented
  • 1 tbsp black olives, halved
  • 1 tsp capers (optional)
  • 1 fresh red chilli, chopped
  • 1 spring onion, sliced
  • 1 handful Fresh coriander
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 salt & pepper to taste

Instructions 

  • Sear Kingfish: In a hot, dry pan, sear the Kingfish for about 10 seconds on each side. Immediately wrap it in cling wrap and place it in the freezer for 1 hour.
  • Pickling the vegetables: While the Kingfish is chilling, pickle the radish and red onion by placing them in a bowl with ACV. Let them sit for about 15 minutes.
  • Prepare the dish: Thinly slice the chilled Kingfish and arrange it on a chilled plate. Squeeze half a lemon over the fish to lightly marinate. Add the halved olives, capers (optional), chopped chilli, orange pieces, and the pickled radish and onion to the plate.
  • Finish and serve: Top with fresh spring onion, coriander, salt, pepper, a squeeze of additional lemon juice, and a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy!
