Cooking steps

1. Form sticks from halibut fillet, freeze, then slice very thinly with a slicer. Store in the freezer until serving.

   Required ingredients:

   • Halibut fillet: 700 g

2. Make a herb emulsion: blend parsley, tarragon, chervil, and 60 grams of shallots with broth and salt, slowly pouring in sunflower oil in a thin stream. (There will be more emulsion than needed, but it's inconvenient to whip a smaller amount). Chill in the refrigerator.

   • Chicken egg (organic): 10 pieces
