Salmon trout fillet with kohlrabi stew and roasted garlic clams
A reimagined Hungarian "főzelék" with crispy skin trout and modern textures – a refined fish dish with comfort food soul.
This creatively plated fish course redefines the traditional Hungarian főzelék (vegetable stew) concept, while preserving its comforting, homestyle essence. The centerpiece is a succulent fillet of trout, lightly cured in a salt-sugar brine for several hours to develop depth of flavor and preserve its natural juiciness. Just before serving, it is seared skin-side down until perfectly crispy.
The foundation of the dish is a silky-smooth kohlrabi purée, enriched with butter and cream for a luxurious mouthfeel. To this, we add fresh brunoise-cut kohlrabi, green apple cubes, and cooked tapioca pearls, creating a multi-textured, balanced version of the Hungarian classic with sweet, savory, and vegetal notes.
Elevating the dish is a topping of garlic-sautéed black mussels, quickly pan-fried in butter to intensify their oceanic flavor while maintaining their tender texture. The mussels bring a subtle seaside flair that harmonizes beautifully with the richness of the trout and the creaminess of the stew.
This dish is an ideal choice for guests looking for a lighter fish entrée that still nods to Hungarian culinary heritage—served in an elegant, modern interpretation perfect for a fine dining experience at altitude.
