Cook the cauliflower 5 minutes, stirring occasionally being careful not to caramelize the cauliflower. Add the vegetable stock and let simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender. Put the cooked cauliflower in the blender, reserving the liquid. Puree until smooth. Add some of the reserved vegetable stock to adjust the consistency of the puree. Adjust seasoning with salt.

Gremolata 4ea garlic cloves 1c Italian parsley leaves 1ea thyme sprig 1tsp orange zest 1tsp lemon zest 1/2tsp chili flake 1tsp rosemary 1/2c olive oil Salt pepper In a mortar and pestle, add garlic, salt, pepper, parsley, thyme, rosemary, lemon & orange zest. Mix until a paste starts to form. Add the olive oil and mix. Adjust the seasoning. Cooking the fish In a large sauté pan over medium heat, add olive oil. The oil should be hot, but not smoking. Pat the skin of the fish dry with a paper towel and lightly coat in olive oil. Season the flesh of the fish with salt and pepper. Place the fish into the pan skin side down. The fish will curl up when it hits the hot oil. This is due to the proteins in the fish tightening. Let it cook like this for 1 minute to let the protein relax. Using a fish spatula, gently push down on the flesh side of the fish so the rest of the skin is cooking in the hot oil. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the skin side. The sides of the fish will start to turn white. Once this happens you can turn the fish over and cook for 1 minute. Remove the fish from the pan and place on a clean paper towel. *you can baste the fish with butter, garlic and thyme if you want.
