The dish is a progression of what my mother and I use to do when we would cook trout back when I was a kid, very similar method to en papillote. The dish has influence from the recent venues I’ve worked at along with a heavy influence of a few different Asian cuisines, I’ve always enjoyed the delicate nature of a lot of these cuisines which is what I’ve tried to replicate. The sake along with the snapper helps to highlight the natural sweetness of the fish which is what is to be taken away from when eating that fish.
The broth then lends a heavy handed umami injection to the dish along with the shiitake and pippies.
