A 3-Star Michelin Chef's Cannes-Approved Sea Bass Recipe

Did you ever think you could re-create a meal by a three-starred Michelin chef at home?
by

Did you ever think you could re-create a meal by a three-starred Michelin chef at home? Many of France native Anne-Sophie Pic's recipes are not for the home chef — unless one has some molecular gastronomy essentials handy — but her sea bass is comparatively straightforward, though admittedly not a fast and easy weeknight affair. Anne-Sophie left her usual station at her three-starred restaurant Maison Pic in the French town of Valence to take the helm at Electrolux's Chef's Kitchen at the Cannes Film Festival.

A table full of journalists was able to break from the cinema excitement at Cannes to sample Sophie's creations, which were also served at Wednesday night's opening gala. The party welcomed 650 guests for dinner, including members of this year's jury, like Nicole Kidman and head juror Steven Spielberg. With instructions on how to re-create the complex entrée, now Nicole and Steven (and you) can take a bit of elegant French fare home to the US.

by

Whether you're hosting a brunch, bridal shower, or cocktail party, elegant yet super-simple to prepare gravlax-topped toasts are sure to shine. Delicate and decadent cured salmon (whether home-cured or store-sourced) finds its ideal match when paired with nutty crackers, tangy crème fraiche, briny capers, and a sprig of dill to freshen it all up.

Even better, though this bite looks mighty sophisticated, it requires little more than assembling a few ingredients, and can be easily scaled up or down. It's equally at home as the starter for an intimate four-person dinner party as it is at a blowout bash for 50, just shop for ingredients accordingly.

You've procured the salmon, dill, and other accoutrements and are about to get cracking curing a batch of gravlax at home, but now what? While a relatively simple process, home-curing — and, for that matter, slicing cured salmon — is a culinary adventure many aren't yet acquainted with, so we've broken it down visually to make matters more clear. Follow along with our step-by-step guide to preparing gravlax at home.

Curing Gravlax at Home Is Easier Than You Think

Home-curing gravlax, while perhaps not on par with dry-aging steaks at home or transforming a slab of pork belly into bacon, might still seem like a culinary experiment best left to the experts, but that's not the case.
by

Home-curing gravlax, while perhaps not on par with dry-aging steaks at home or transforming a slab of pork belly into bacon, might still seem like a culinary experiment best left to the experts, but that's not the case. Minimal effort and time are required — the salmon cures for a mere three days — to yield results far superior to the majority of store-bought options. This is largely because you, not the producer, are in control of the quality of fish you select, as well as the choice of flavoring agents. And at a third of the price, home-cured gravlax is far more economical than store-bought, even when using top-quality ingredients.

Seek out the freshest salmon you can acquire: the flavor of the fish intensifies as moisture is lost in the curing process. Instructions here are for gravlax with a classic dill and anise flavor profile, but feel free to experiment with other spices and herbs; just keep the ratio of sugar, salt, and fish consistent.

Celebrate Chinese New Year With Garlic-Soy Shrimp

While much of the festivities are celebrated with friends, the eve of the Lunar New Year always involves a dinner at home with family.
by

While much of the festivities are celebrated with friends, the eve of the Lunar New Year always involves a dinner at home with family. We enjoy a range of dishes — everything from goat to shrimp — that come from both the land and the sea. Every holiday, my mother makes this dish, which only takes a few minutes to prepare. Served with their shells still on, the shrimp are coated in a quick fragrant sauce.

My overachieving mother can peel an entire shrimp in her mouth, but if you aren't quite so adept, you can peel the shrimp in a few simple steps. To enjoy this dish, keep reading.

Ring In the Year of the Snake With Fragrant Steamed Fish

For anyone who hails from Southeast China, it wouldn't be the Lunar New Year without some form of fish.
by

For anyone who hails from Southeast China, it wouldn't be the Lunar New Year without some form of fish. The Chinese are big on words that sound the same but have double meanings, and the common Mandarin phrase nian nian you yu ("may there be surpluses every year") sounds the same as the phrase "may there be fish every year."

A fragrant whole fish, steamed and served with aromatic ginger, scallions, and cilantro, is a staple of my family's annual dinner. The dish is flexible with the variety (my mom prefers pompano, and I enjoy trout or sea bass) and the cooking method (she makes hers in the microwave, while I use the oven), but fish is an absolute must at the table.

For my family's classic recipe, keep reading.
