Marinated Broadbill with Shaved Fennel, Picked Crab and Pomelo Dressing recipe, brought to you by MiNDFOOD.

500g broadbill loin, fully cleaned of skin and sinews

2 pomelos (or 3 large ruby grapefruits)

1 tbsp chardonnay vinegar

½ lemon, juice

1 tsp sugar

2 tbsp olive oil

1 large fennel bulb

sea salt, to season

½ lemon, juice (extra)

2 tbsp olive oil (extra)

pinch of salt

150g crab

3 tbsp chopped chives, to garnish

fennel sprigs (from bulb), to garnish

1 Roll broadbill tightly in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 3 hours.

2 To make the pomelo dressing, segment the pomelos (or grapefruits) and cut segments into small pieces. Do this over a bowl to catch all the juice.

3 To the pomelo segments and juice add vinegar, lemon juice, sugar and oil. Mix well and set aside.

4 Remove outer leaves from fennel and trim the base and tops, reserving the sprigs.

5 Using a sharp peeler, shave the fennel into thin slices and place in iced water.

6 To serve, remove plastic wrap from broadbill and cut into very thin slices. Arrange slices on 6 plates. Season each slice with a pinch of sea salt, spoon over pomelo dressing and allow to marinate for a few minutes.

7 Drain fennel and mix with lemon juice (extra), oil (extra), a pinch of salt and the crab, then scatter over broadbill. Garnish with chives and fennel sprigs.
