Here is a recipe from my book “From One to Infinity” : a surprising amberjack burger with burrata emulsion, light aïoli and crispy radish.
A real treat: this seafood sandwich offers all the elegance of a gourmet dish in a street-style format, perfect for those seeking flavor, lightness, and originality. The choice of amberjack—a fish with firm, delicate flesh—allows for a meat-free alternative, perfect for those who follow a balanced lifestyle without sacrificing pleasure. And with the lightened aïoli and burrata emulsion, the balance between softness and freshness is guaranteed.
Ingredients:
For 10 sandwiches:
- 10 milk rolls
- 50 g of melted butter
- 10 radishes
For the burrata emulsion:
- 400 g of burrata
- 50 g of extra virgin olive oil
- Salt to taste
For the amberjack burger:
- 500 g of amberjack fillets (already cleaned)
- 120 g of egg white
- Chopped fresh marjoram
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the light aioli:
- 50 g garlic paste (see page 149 of the book)
- 2 eggs
- 400 g of seed oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Procedure :
For the burrata emulsion:
Blend the burrata with extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt using an immersion blender until smooth and velvety. Transfer it to a baby bottle for easy serving.
For the amberjack burger:
Finely slice the amberjack into a tartare. In a bowl, combine the egg white, chopped marjoram, salt, and pepper. Shape the burgers using a pastry cutter. Let them rest in the refrigerator for an hour, covered with plastic wrap. Then, bake them in the oven at 200°C for a few minutes, just long enough for the egg white to set.
For the light aioli:
Place all the ingredients in an immersion blender. Blend until you obtain a smooth, stiff sauce, similar to mayonnaise, but lighter and more aromatic.
For the radishes and the composition:
Slice the radishes very thinly with a mandolin and place them in ice water to crisp them. Cut the milk rolls in half, brush them with melted butter, and grill them for a few minutes. Fill with the amberjack burger, aioli, burrata emulsion, and crispy radishes.
Enjoy your meal!
With this recipe, you bring a contemporary sandwich to the table, where taste and lightness meet, and where every detail is designed to enhance the raw ingredients, with simplicity and creativity.
