Flaky, succulent fish served alongside garlic and sweet potato cream, cuttlefish salad, lemon cream and a vibrant green sauce – this recipe by the Executive Chef of Michelin-starred Restaurant 360 Dubrovnik is perfect as a delicious lunch or dinner any day of the week.

Notes from the chef:  “This dish is inspired by a traditional dish of Dalmatia (coastal region of Croatian Adriatic) based on a white fish & potato duo with the addition of Swiss char. My interpretation takes a sea bass with skin and scales to emphasize the fish itself and oppose the texture of the meat.  To complement a dish, I have created a cuttlefish and rock-samphire salad, a common plant of Adriatic islands and a common mollusk of our waters.”
