Ingredients for Clémence Taillandier's Mackerel and Brussels sprouts

- 1 Meyer lemon

- 200 g raw cream

Steps for Clémence Taillandier's Mackerel and Brussels sprouts

1. Mackerel: Lift the fillets and remove the bones, then season the flesh with salt and pepper. Set aside in the fridge.

2. Brussels sprouts: Remove the damaged leaves from the sprouts, then reserve the first large leaves. Blanch in boiling, salted water, then plunge into ice-cold water. Finely chop the raw hearts of the remaining Brussels sprouts.

3. Carefully remove the first small skin from the mackerel fillets. Flame the mackerel fillets, skin side down, with the blanched cabbage leaves. Cut the mackerel into 2 cm pieces.

4. Candied zest: Cook the Meyer lemon zest in a mixture of water, lemon juice and sugar in equal proportions, without boiling. Stop cooking when the zest becomes translucent.

5. Seasoning: Season the raw cream with salt, pepper and lemon. Season the chopped Brussels sprouts with salt, pepper, lemon juice and toasted sesame oil. Brush the cabbage leaves and mackerel pieces with sesame oil.

6. Presentation: Place the raw cream at the bottom of the plate, then arrange the other elements and finish with the chopped candied lemon zest.
