Chef Benoist Gérard's Tips :

This dish can also be made with other fish, such as pike, brill, pollack, salmon, zander, turbot, etc.
You can also roast your Timut pepper (in a dry pan) before crushing it. This will give it an even more pronounced flavour. Plain rice can also be used to accompany your fish...

FOOD AND WINE PAIRINGS FROM THE WINE MERCHANT :

Serge Laloue's white Sancerre is the perfect choice for this match. Its expressive and complex nose of citrus fruits and its exotic nuances will combine perfectly with the orange and lemon flavours of this dish. The beautiful fleshiness of the wine will underline the delicacy of the sea bass.
