Pike Perch With Smoked Pear

This pike perch with smoked pear is a little fancier of a recipe than I would
normally post, but as this is Cooking to Entertain I will say this dish really
WOWS! Not only are the flavors unique and delicious, the presentation is just
gorgeous – perfect for a fancy dinner party.

Instructions

1 Boil the water. Turn off the heat and add the smoked pears. Rehydrate the smoked
pears for one hour.
2 Preheat the oven to 180C
3 Remove the smoked pears from the water and add the rest of the ingredients.
Whisk to combine and bring to a simmer.
4 Continue simmering and whisking until the sauce has thickened and reached a
desirable consistency. While you are making the sauce you can work on the rest
of the dish.
5 Place all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and toss so the tomatoes are
well coated. These will bake at 180C for 15 minutes – the same time and tray as
the fish.
6 Drizzle the zander fillets with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with salt.
Place on a baking tray skin side up (I line my baking tray with a silicone
baking mat

and pour the tomatoes next to it. Place the tray in the oven on a middle shelf
and bake for 15 minutes.
7 Make a pool of smoked pear cream in the bowl and place the zander skin side up
off-center. Spoon some tomatoes to the side of the fish.
8 Slice the rehydrated smoked pears into thin strips and drop some around the
dish. I also like to garnish with some microgreens and a few drops of my
homemade Aleppo chili oil.
