Grilled mackerel with pea puree is a harmony of freshness and rich flavor born from the traditions of Chinese cuisine. Marinated in a fragrant mix of kimchi, teriyaki, and aromatic herbs, the fish acquires spicy notes that unfold when grilled. The delicate pea puree, enhanced with cream and a sharp wasabi accent, creates a contrast of flavors—sweet, creamy, with a hint of spiciness. Lemon and fresh cilantro complete the composition, refreshing and highlighting the dish's natural richness. This is not just food—it's a gastronomic experience that awakens emotions and offers pleasure in every note of flavor.
