Scallop Ceviche, Lemon Myrtle, Ponzu Dressing, Dill Oil, Shaved Fennel, Ice Plant


This dish came about as I managed to order some ice plant and wanted to try it in a light seafood dish. The flavours were inspired by a dish by chef Zsolt Zakarrecipe from Lobster in Dublin. It was light, refreshing and the perfect quick entree. The original recipe can be found in the link here.
